Deforestation can actually increase the risk of slope collapses rather than reduce it. Trees play a crucial role in stabilizing slopes by holding the soil in place with their roots. When trees are removed, the soil becomes more vulnerable to erosion and landslides. Additionally, deforestation can lead to loss of habitat for various species, affect water cycles, and contribute to climate change. It is important to find sustainable ways to manage slopes and prevent collapses without resorting to deforestation.
