There are several reasons. Cutting down areas of forest removes wildlife habitats, leaving animals with no shelter and nowhere to find food in the case of some herbivores. This can result in the death of some animals and therefore a loss of biodiversity. Many ingredients in medicines come from plant species in forests. Deforestation removes these plants and so loses key pharmaceutical ingredients. Perhaps even some undiscovered future medicines. Trees and plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis to produce oxygen. This is particularly useful in today's industrial world where more and more harmful CO2 is being put into the atmosphere. Forests act as a "carbon sink" removing the harmful CO2 from the atmosphere and giving out oxygen which can be used by other forms of life. Deforestation reduces this, leaving more CO" in the atmosphere which then contributes to global warming.

Why do you think environmentalists are so concerned about protecting plant life?
Environmentalists are concerned about protecting plant life because plants play a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem by producing oxygen, sequestering carbon dioxide, providing habitats for animals, and supporting the food chain. Loss of plant diversity can lead to ecosystem instability and negative impacts on human health and well-being.
Why would interest groups be concerned with the federal budget?
