Deforestration
Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

There are many causes of deforestation. The WWF reports that half of the trees illegally removed from forests are used as fuel.
Some other common reasons are:

• To make more land available for housing and urbanization
• To harvest timber to create commercial items such as paper, furniture and homes 
• To create ingredients that are highly prized consumer items, such as the oil from palm trees
• To create room for cattle ranching 

Common methods of deforestation are burning trees and clear cutting. These tactics leave the land completely barren and are controversial practices. 
Clear cutting is when large swaths of land are cut down all at once. A forestry expert quoted by the Natural Resources Defense Council describes clear cutting as "an ecological trauma that has no precedent in nature except for a major volcanic eruption."
