The animals in forests are of various types. These could be herbivores, carnivores, micro-organisms, etc. These play an important role in maintaining the food chains.

(i) Micro-organisms convert the dead plants and animals to humus. This humus helps in returning the nutrients back to the soil. These are absorbed by plants.

(ii) The animals also help in dispersing the seeds of certain plants.

(iii) The decaying animal dung provides nutrients to various types of seedlings to grow.

All these activities of animals dwelling in the forest help it to grow and regenerate.

Why is deforestition harmful to animals?

Forest dwelling animals will be forced out of their forest environment. Unless there are forests nearby, they are out in the open and more vulnerable to predators, and starvation. Also, deforestation on a large scale (the Amazon rain forest, etc) would drastically alter the climate if deforestation continues unchecked. If a forest is felled in small areas (as followed by the British Forestry Commission) and then replanted, the forest becomes more sustainable and less harmful to forest animals.
