In every part of the planet, deforestation and forest destruction produce ecological problems. Deforestation is taking place at a rapid rate, particularly in tropical regions where every year millions of acres are cleanly cut. Pollution and selective logging activities that degrade the integrity of local habitats also cause the remaining forests to suffer. Forest degradation also impacts the quality of soil and water in the surrounding region and can have a detrimental impact on biodiversity through a number of interconnections. Forest destruction is a mechanism in which some factor or a combination of factors permanently diminishes the biological resources of a forest area. "This does not involve a reduction of the forest area, but rather a quality decrease in its condition." The forest is still there, but with fewer trees, or fewer types of trees, plants or animals, or some of them affected by plagues. The forest is made less valuable by this destruction and can contribute to deforestation. Forest degradation is a form of land degradation that is a more general concern.
