Which is more harmful to Amazon rainforest, deforestation or forest fire?

The fire in the Amazon forest is very serious. In fact, there have been many fires in the Amazon forest in history. This fire will be a disaster for the forest. Personally, I think the impact of fire is even more serious than logging.

One thing we need to understand is that the purpose of deforestation is to benefit mankind and facilitate human life, because wood can be used to build houses and some basic engineering facilities, and we cannot do without wood. However, the fire has not brought any benefits to the forest, and the smoke produced after intense combustion will also have an impact on the environment.

Of course, deforestation will also cause very serious environment, such as serious soil erosion, deepening desertification and destruction of ecological balance, which are all negative effects caused by deforestation.

Many countries have relevant control over some deforestation. If there is no logging certificate issued by the local forestry or land department, it is absolutely impossible to cut down forests. For example, the fire in the Amazon rainforest has been burning for several weeks, and cities hundreds of kilometers away are shrouded in smoke.

The fire hazard of Amazon this time is huge, but the overall area of Amazon has been reduced a lot. The most exasperating thing is that the fire was not caused by the weather, but was probably caused by arson. This is also a fire that has a certain impact on all mankind, because the earth is our living environment, and we also need to protect it. This malicious behavior should be strongly condemned by everyone.
