DEFORESTATION IN INDIA.
History
• Deforestation started with the growth of
agriculture, but was exacerbated in the nineteenth
century when British commercial forestry
operations destroyed forests in montane areas of
Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
• The Gangetic plains have been almost completely
deforested for agriculture.

Results
• Deforestation has affected the lives of wild
animals and birds including bats. Birds like
sparrow, pigeon and crow are becoming rarer due
to deforestation. Due to deforestation India is
facing water problems in urban cities and villages.

How we’ll scale in the future

CARPE and the UMD/NASA How Are Deforestation Rates

Landsat Deforestation Project Computed? We Learned

Forest change is a dynamic process

As part of the University of that reflects how people respond to

are used to assess the rates and
extent of deforestation in Central

 SUMMARY

Deforestation impacts the environment through loss of

biodiversity and disruption of ecosystem processes
and the economy by affecting ecosystem services and
because of inefficient squandering of resources.
