Degradation is when something is degraded, or made worse.
Forest degradation means any negative changes in a forest that damage its productivity; any time a forest is made worse by
- overexploitation (any time it is used too much by farmers or tourists),
- logging (deforestation),
- logging camps and
- logging roads built through the forest.
- air pollution,
- fires,
- insects and
- vegetation diseases.
- firewood scavenging
- animal foraging
- pasturing
- industrialisation (factories)
- urbanisation (buildings)
Sometimes the term Forest Degradation does NOT include cutting down trees, which is then referred to as Deforestation.
