IntroductionDeforestation is the process whereby natural

forests are cleared through logging or burning, either by using a timber or to replace the area for alternative uses.

Examples of Deforestation include; Conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use.

The act of deforestation can be very harmful to the existence of ecosystems and it can greatly affect biodiversity.

Facts About DeforestationAbout half of the world's tropical forests have been

cleared (FAO)Forests currently cover about 30 percent of the world’s

land mass (National Geographic)Forest loss contributes between 6 percent and 12

percent of annual global carbon dioxide emissions (Nature Geoscience)About 36 football fields worth of trees lost every minute

Facts about deforestation…..

Deforestation poses a big threat to plants and animals that live within the forest.

Because of deforestation trees are being cut, this affects all the environment.

Because many animals are herbivore when the trees fall their food sources are limited and most of them may die. Carnivores are also affected because when some of these animals die of the lack of trees the carnivore don’t have enough animals to feed on.

It becomes more difficult for both of the species to survive

The WWF reports that half of the trees illegally removed from forests are used as fuel.

Some other common reasons are:To make more land available for housing and

urbanizationTo harvest timber to create commercial items such as

paper, furniture and homes To create ingredients that are highly prized consumer

items, such as the oil from palm treesTo create room for cattle ranching

Factors

what is deforestation?

First what is deforestation?It’s the processes where natural forests are

cleared through logging or burning to use the timber or to build something else for alternative uses

How deforestation affects biodiversity..1. When the deforestation increases species are most likely to extinct.2. According to NASA’s website “Losses of species of animals in the rain forests have a huge impact on animals and humans in the future.”3. Deforestation causes animals to lose their habitats which means they have to adapt to a new environment.

Solutions of deforestation on biodiversity.1. Climate plays a huge role of why and where an animals lives. 2. Biodiversity is so important it should be cherished no destroyed and built upon.3. If we keep on not taking care of those forests soon this environment will collapse and there wouldn’t be space for those animals and plants..

When the deforestation increases species are most likely to extinct.

According to NASA’s website “ Losses of species of animals in the rain forests have a huge impact on animals and humans in the future.”

Deforestation causes animals to lose their habitats which means they have to adapt to a new environment.

There for to protect the biodiversity and the environment, you have to do something about the species dying.

You have to try and see cures that can stop deforestation. You cant just leave them like this; the environment is being destroyed every day.

By the time you grow up you wont see some of those species anymore and you wont see the beauty of earth so you must try and protect it

The protection of these animals and plants are very important because by the time you grow up, these species may be extinct because we don’t care enough to try and help.

Their extinction will cause problems and the chance of finding new species will be very hard.

You have to try your best to protect those animals and plants to maintain earths beauty and the biodiversity that lives in it..

ConclusionWe should conclude after this that Deforestation isn’t

only a natural effect, yet humans play a huge role by burning down trees and by bulldozing them down.

This process could be reversed by many things.

AnswerLoss of species: Seventy percent of the world’s

plants and animals live in forests and are losing their habitats to deforestation, according to National Geographic. Loss of habitat can lead to species extinction. It also has negative consequences for medicinal research and local populations who rely on the animals and plants in the forests for hunting and medicine.
