DeforestationOver the last thirty years deforestation has started to be a problem. Humans cut down trees for: Wood, fuel, fields for crops and cattle, and to make space for homes.This didn’t cause any problems until we started using trees faster than they were being replaced.

Why Is Deforestation Bad?
It can cause soil erosion. A lack of trees to hold ground
water can result in flooding. It can cause climate changes. Plants and animals can be driven
out of their homes.

Animal Extinctions Caused By Deforestation
Over half of all plant and animal species are in the tropical rainforests. Even cutting down small sections of a forest can cause plants and animals that are native to that area to become extinct.
