Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
13.9 million square kilometres of forest, or 9.3% of the world's total area, were cleared for industrial use, farming, pastures, and fuelwood between 1700 and 1995, during the age of industrialization. Although deforestation has been occurring for generations, it intensified and grew more organized throughout the colonial era. There are various causes for why this happened. Firstly, there was a significant increase in population during this time, which necessitated food cultivation. Second, the colonizers made growing commercial crops a top priority.
