Deforestation affects biodiversity
Deforestation also poses a big threat to the plants and animals that live within the forest. When the act of deforestation occurs, it entails cutting down massive amounts of trees and vegetation. Many animals, big or small, are herbivorous and when their food supply gets taken away they are forced to move elsewhere. Some animals are able to find different food sources and make due with what they have, however others die and in some cases become extinct altogether.If we continue to decrease the living space for those animals and plants soon the consequences will be irreversible. Some biologists believe that some diseases can be cured within the biology of these rare plants and animals.
