Why has land clearance become a dedigration?

Land clearance has become a degradation due to its significant impact on ecosystems, leading to habitat loss, soil erosion, and decreased biodiversity. The conversion of forests and natural landscapes for agriculture, urban development, and infrastructure often results in the disruption of ecological balance. Additionally, unsustainable land clearance practices can exacerbate climate change by releasing stored carbon dioxide, further threatening environmental stability. The long-term consequences include diminished Natural Resources and increased vulnerability to environmental disasters.
