Every minute within the Sumartra region, five football fields of rainforest are demolished, and within this area are the thousands of species that rely upon the rainforest ecosystem in order to survive.
The Forest elephant's diet consists of that of an herbivore, and thus it commonly eats bark, fruits leaves and other vegetation. However, the forest elephant most generally eats fruits due to their nutritional content. Due to the elephant's diet, a decrease in the biodiversity of vegetation could prove detrimental to the elephant, potentially to the point of extinction. Recent studies have concluded that the population of the forest elephant was directly proportional to that of the amount of vegetation within its habitat, thus as deforestation continues the population of the forest elephant will continue to decrease as a result of the loss of vegetation.
The African forest elephant's population was approaching the point of extinction during the 1990's and early twenty-first century, to this day the population of forest elephants is decreasing at an exponential rate with numbers decreasing from 700'000 to current levels of 100'000, whereby half the remaining population resides within the region of Gabon.
Thus, it is due to the diet and habitat of the elephant, that it has been effected to such an immense extent by a means of deforestation.
Deforestation destroys the habitat of animals.
Deforestation means cutting down of trees. So if there r no trees there is no word called environment. This is the way deforestation effect the environment
Deforestation has a direct negative effect on forest resources. This is because deforestation can kill many organisms including medicinal plants.
One of the effects of deforestation is increased global warming.
nothing
we do not get food by the villages
Deforestation could not be replaced. We have to plant trees to minimize depletion.
Illegal loging
soil erosion anddestruction
Mining requires deforestation...
of pollution,deforestation,global warming etc
Deforestation happens due to the agriculture, search for fuel, search for pasture for animals, and in an effort to settle the ever increasing human population. Deforestation has an effect of increasing soil erosion, desertification, loss of biodiversity and green house effect.
