Article · Nederlands
Ontbossing is het verdwijnen van bos door handelingen van mensen voor commerciële doeleinden, of om land te winnen voor landbouw of voor nederzettingen. Met name het verdwijnen van grote stukken tropisch regenwoud in het Amazonebekken is de laatste jaren in het nieuws gekomen door acties van Greenpeace en andere milieuorganisaties. Ook in de Congolese regenwouden is door illegale houtkap grote schade aangericht.
