Slash and burn consists of cutting and burning of forests to create fields for agriculture or pasture for livestock, or for a variety of other purposes. Traditionally when practiced by small populations in large forests, where fields had sufficient time to recover before again being slashed, burned, and cultivated, it had very little ecological impact. But with today's higher human population densities, the forests have very little time to recover.
