Reckless farming practice/expansions in developing countries, such as:
1. In south-east asia insane amounts of farmland is burned seasonally (to prepare for the next seasonal crop).
2. Burning of forests/jungle in order to extract some exotic mushrooms.
3. Burning jungle in order to make space for palm-oil farms.
