This research study depicted on accelerate increase rate of deforestation issues in the Karbi Anglong district of Assam, India. To explore scientific study, this study emphasized qualitative and descriptive research analysis method. Deforestation means the large-scale removal of trees from forested areas. It often leads to the conversion of land for agriculture, mining, urbanization, and other development purposes. Diverse types of forest are found in the Karbi Anglong district, consisting of tropical moist semi-evergreen forests, moist mixed deciduous forests, riverine forests, and subtropical broadleaf hill forests. In these forest areas, it encompasses plenty of diverse flora and fauna. As per the assessment of 2019, the total forest covered about 7,983 sq km, sharing with 76.5% of the geographical area in the Karbi Anglong district. However, developmental purposes and high standards of living have destroyed trees and forest land, which leads to deforestation. The main reasons behind the deforestation are overgrazing, illegal mining, factories, agriculture land expansion, overpopulation, urbanization development and jhum cultivation. As a result, this deforestation has led to the loss of animal habitats, loss of biodiversity, increased man-animal conflicts, soil erosion, global warming, and climate change. The key findings of results show that 97.4 kilo hectares decreased tree cover and 7.56 kilo hectares lost primary forest in 2020 in the Karbi Anglong District. To protect and preserve the forest and flora and fauna, the K.A.A.C. government has reserved five wildlife sanctuaries, two elephant reserves, and seventeen district council reserved forests. It also initiated professional grazing reserve and village grazing reserve land to prevent deforestation.
