Environmental issue : Deforistation

Deforistation Affects the ecosystem in sever ways:

*Destroys animal's homes, and could kill the animal itself, thus affecting the food chain*

*Destroys plant-life hence less food for herbivores *

-Less oxygen being made, no trees to absorb all of the CO2

-Less vegetation in that area, could use the botany for harvesting

-leads to soil erosion

-destroys natural habitants

-leads to global warming

However, Deforistation is known to harm the environment- but can in some ways benefit people.


-Production of more land for farming purposes increasing the livelihood of the areas occupants.
--- which will result in production of jobs and income for loggers
Hence, = production of wood for various industries and housing
And = production of land for industrial and residential purposes.

It is no secret no deforistation affects the environment.However, it can benefit the environment in two ways:
1) opening up the canopy to promote growth of smaller, healthier trees and burrowing mammals
2) removing damaged or diseased trees
