Agroforestry is a land-use management system that integrates trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes, creating a synergistic relationship between crops, livestock, and forestry. This approach has gained attention as a sustainable farming practice that enhances biodiversity, improves soil health, and increases resilience to climate change. Agroforestry systems can take various forms, including alley cropping, silvopasture, and forest farming, each tailored to the specific ecological and economic needs of a region.
The extinction of species refers to the permanent loss of a species from the ecosystem. This phenomenon has been a natural part of Earth’s history, with species disappearing due to various natural causes. However, the current rate of extinction is unprecedented and is largely driven by human activities, such as habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation of resources.
