Description

The world's forests face a serious threat: deforestation. This phenomenon, driven by various human activities, is leading to the irreversible loss of vital ecosystems and generating serious consequences for the planet. This research, based on a linear regression model, has revealed a worrying trend: deforestation will continue to increase until 2030, at an alarming rate. Analysis using the linear regression model has shown a significant correlation between deforestation and various socioeconomic factors, such as population growth, agricultural expansion, and demand for natural resources. These factors are driving forest cover loss at an accelerating rate. The continued increase in deforestation will have dire consequences for the planet. Among the main threats are increased greenhouse gas emissions, loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, socio-economic impacts as it is known, local communities that depend on forests for their livelihoods are seriously affected by deforestation, losing their lands, food sources and natural resources.
