Answer-1
Deforestation is a global problem now in these days in the sustainable development of the
various countries and it also affects our environment and responsible for adverse climate
change. Farming is one of the major accountable causes of deforestation. Most of the farming
activities like producing palm oil and using trees for making homes in rural areas are the
major causes of deforestation (Desbureaux and Damania, 2018). Producing palm oil in
Malaysia and Indonesia is the major business for the survival of the farmers. Thus, they
depend on these types of activities, which cause deforestation. These people have no money
neither they have the political power to acquire holdings or productive lands. Thus, these
farmers live as temporary colonists near the street or forest areas. Farmers use the slash and
burn technique for short-term agriculture. However, these types of deforestation help them in
their survival and it is not wrong because these slash-and-burn technique has been used for
centuries and if it does by farmers on small scale and in a rational manner then it also helps in
relative sustainability. Thus, the subsistence farmers should not be blamed for the
deforestation because government is responsible for the unequal distribution of land and their
inability to provide them shelter, food, and jobs and it further force the farmers to do such
activities which leads to deforestation (Kovacic and Salazar, 2017). However, if they blamed
for such things then the government and some legal mechanism should also be blame along
with these subsistence farmers.
