What is rampant logging?

Rampant logging refers to the excessive and often illegal removal of trees and forests, driven by high demand for timber, agricultural expansion, or urban development. This practice leads to significant environmental degradation, including deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of ecosystems. It also contributes to climate change by releasing stored carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Rampant logging often occurs without proper regulation or sustainable management practices, exacerbating its negative impacts.
