How does logging and cutting down trees affect global warming in Los Angeles?

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air. They store the carbon and release the oxygen. They do this during all the time they are growing. Logging and cutting down trees means they are not taking carbon dioxide from the air. Because carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas causing global warming, cutting down trees increases the warming. Global warming means 'all over the world'. So cutting down trees in Indonesia will affect the warming in Los Angeles. Cutting down trees in Los Angeles will affect global warming in Djakarta.

Cutting down trees destroys the natural habitat of orangutans, leading to habitat loss and fragmentation.

Orangutans rely on trees for food, shelter, and movement, so deforestation poses a significant threat to their population.
