Human activities which affect the right to a healthy environment also take the form of deforestation which over the centuries has led to substantial forest losses and environmental degradation.

Furthermore, deforestation is often linked with a failure to recognize the full value of forests.

Underlying causes of deforestation are complex and varied.

In recent historic times, about 96 percent of the Coast Redwood forest was cut down, especially in a series of bursts of intense liquidation logging, clear cutting that took place in the 1970s through the early 1990s.

Globally, the loss of forests has mainly occurred in tropical and sub tropical regions, caused by the logging of hardwoods, clearance of forests for agriculture and collection of firewood.

Palm oil production is the leading cause of deforestation in Indonesia.

Deforestation in the Panama Canal basin is a matter of particular concern.

Approximately 40 per cent of the basin apos s 326,000 hectares have been deforested.

This encourages unsustainable practices, hampers financing for sustainable forest management and contributes to deforestation.

Measures taken to combat deforestation and forest degradation include the development and implementation of national forest programmes (and similar frameworks), management guidelines, financial encouragement, removal of perverse incentives for deforestation and public information campaigns.

The alarming rate of deforestation continues to warrant international attention and there is a need to renew the pledge to combat deforestation, restoring the forest functions in degraded landscapes and improve the livelihoods of poor people living in and around forests worldwide.
