===Additional deforestation ===
===Additional deforestation ===
Globally, conversion to agricultural land is the major driver of forest clearing, and timber harvest does not result in deforestation, if natural vegetation is regrowing. But there are other causes of deforestation not related to food demand and timber production, such as urbanisation, mining and illegal logging. These activities contribute to loss of forest area, increased degradation risks and a decline in the supply of forest services. To be consistent with the total deforestation rates per world region reported by the FAO ([[FAO, 2010|2010]]), IMAGE 3.0 introduces a category ‘additional deforestation’. IMAGE assumes no recovery of natural vegetation in these areas, and no agricultural activities.
