very very short paragraph

Deforestation has been pinpointed as a serious environmental problem in Southeast Asia. what are the causes that give rise to this problem?

The main cause that gives rise to deforestation in Southeast Asia is urbanization. During urbanization land is required to provide accommodation, food and economic activities. For this development, the only source of land would be either from forests or highlands. Since clearing of forests is easier than clearing of hill slope when creating land for development, forests face the danger of being wiped off.
Normally when we spend money we always find way to earn money, so that we keep a balance between output and input without exhausting all our wealth. But in this case, the balance cannot be established. It is because forests size is not easy maintained without using other land for reforestation. Furthermore, land is not something that can be created without sacrifice other element. Therefore deforestation becomes unavoidable for urbanization sake.
