What is an effect of rain forest destruction?

Answer 1

Well, first of all, think about all of the animals living in the rainforest. All those will be gone when it is destroyed. There are also so many plants that live in the rainforest that are on the brink of extinction, like the giant tree fern, and when there is no more rainforest, there are no more plants. Well, those are all relatively obvious answers, but this is one that you might not think of:

Have you ever heard that trees produce oxygen? Well, you most likely have. But it's not like the trees in a neighborhood are supporting that neighborhood, it's the majority of trees in the world that is producing all the oxygen. And the rainforest produces about 20% of the worl's oxygen! Imagine what would happen when 20% of the worl's oxygen dissapears.

Well, I hope I answered your question! ;)
