(question 3 of Chapter 3) Subsequently, agricultural expansion has contributed to widespread land degradation and climatic changes through the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from sources, such as soils, biomass burning, enteric fermentation, rice cultivation, fertilisers and manure management.

This is depicted to the viewer by how dark and dreary the left side of the picture is. Although we can see that, the text states that we are the main cause of this problem. We are ruining forests for our personal needs such as fuel and tillage but mostly for roads and canals.
