We get most lump charcoal from cutting down mesquite trees, and in addition to the deforestation effect, it takes more fuel to produce and transport charcoal than it does propane.
In addition to modeling deforestation, the Genetic Algorithm tool coupled with the Weights of Evidence method is flexible enough to embrace a variety of models as well as their specific fitness functions, thus offering a practical way to optimize the performance of land-use change models.
The main drivers are low prices of minerals in the wold market, low agricultural productivity due to climate change, power and fuel shortages and disease outbreaks in addition to high deforestation rates and high levels of corruption.
In addition to contributing to deforestation in poor nations, traditional cooking fuels degrade air quality, causing serious health problems and premature deaths, the report says.

In the last decade, Louisiana's coastal communities have faced hardships from Katrina, Rita, Gustav, and Ike, in addition to land losses, deforestation and lower seafood prices, the GNO, Inc. fisheries study said.
In addition to biodiversity concerns, deforestation fires indicate that biomass has rapidly been released as carbon to the atmosphere, another important measure of reserve effectiveness.
In addition to these changes, deforestation and burning of forests has declined; the use of technologies that pollute has declined; inspection and surveillance mechanisms relevant to food, water, and air quality have been created; agroecology has expanded; forests have been replanted; and environmental preservations areas have been established.
Rachel Munds, a University of Missouri doctoral student who was one of the team who identified it, said: "Unfortunately, in addition to habitat loss to deforestation, there is a booming black market demand for the animals.
These solutions can have multiple benefits to the environment and to human health; for example, in addition to preventing pandemics, reducing deforestation can combat climate change, protect biodiversity, and preserve watersheds that provide clean water to nearby communities.
