प्रश्न
Why has the area under forest in Europe dropped from 80 percent to 30 percent in recent years?
उत्तर
The forest cover in Europe has significantly decreased from 80% to 30% in recent years due to extensive deforestation. This reduction primarily results from the conversion of forested land into areas for agriculture, industrial use, and urbanization to support the continent's high population density. Currently, Europe has three major forested regions: the Scandinavian mountains, the Alpine region, and the taiga forests in Russia. Additionally, there are some mixed forests and Mediterranean forests in southern Europe.
