                         forested land into other land uses such as agricultural land, 
                         residential, urban, road construction and mining activities. The 
                         degradation of forest due to anthropogenic activities is 
                         significantly reducing forests in the world. These practices 
                         result in significant impacts on the forest structure, species 
                         composition and ecology, which will consequently reduce forest 
                         productivity and ecosystem functions. Due to deforestation, half 
                         of the earth's vegetation surface has reduced to one-third, 
                         resulting in large degraded areas. The significant reduction of 
                         the forest areas requires appropriate planning for sustainable 
                         management of the forests. This book reviews the extent and 
                         consequences of deforestation around the world. It highlights case 
                         studies of the causes of deforestation in Malaysia, Korea, India, 
                         Bangladesh, Columbia, Brazil and Mali. It is hoped that the book 
                         will provide insights on the importance of effective forest
