The purpose of this work was to study the phenomenon of deforestation worldwide. In
particular, the causes that lead to this phenomenon were of interest, which include the
need to create new agricultural and livestock lands, logging, fires, mining,
urbanization, etc., but also the consequences of the non limitation of the phenomenon.
An important consequence of widespread deforestation is the exacerbation of the
phenomenon of climate change, which in turn further burdens forests. Other important
consequences are the impoverishment of soils and eventually desertification, as well
as the loss of biodiversity, which was hosted in forest ecosystems. The work presents
the great and immediate challenge humanity is called to face through statistical data on
an international, European and national scale. Finally, some of the key strategies and
initiatives to limit the phenomenon of deforestation worldwide are recorded, while the
role of Europe is highlighted and the main features of national strategic action are
presented.
