What are four reasons why deforestation bad?

Answer 1

1) Habitat loss for wildlife 2) Trees process the CO2 we breathe out, and convert it to oxygen. They also filter out other toxins in the air. 3) Deforestation changes the albedo (reflectivity) of the earth. Forests absorb a lot of light, keeping the earth cooler, rather than reflecting it back into the atmosphere, which would contribute to global warming. 4) Trees provide food for many species, such as birds and insects.

Answer 2

Deforestation causes loss of biodiversity, contributes to climate change by releasing carbon stored in trees, disrupts ecosystems and habitats, and impacts local communities and indigenous people who rely on forests for their livelihoods.
