森林砍伐后造成的栖息地丧失和土壤退化

arance of tropical forest on this hillside has removed the canopy shade, root networks, and biodiversity that once characterised the landscape. Without tree cover, exposed soil is vulnerable to erosion from tropical rainfall, and the loss of vegetation eliminates a significant local carbon sink. As tourism continues to drive development, the balance between economic opportunity and environmental protection becomes increasingly difficult to maintain.
