What are the consequences of Deforestation?

           Every day hundreds of acres of rain forest are being cut down. Most deforestation is causesed by humans. The conquences of deforestation are global warming, as well as different kinds of animals going extinct, and in plants there are many different kinds of helpful medicines. If we keep cutting down trees, birds, squirrles, spider monkeys, and many other animals will become extinct. In fact 50 % of animals live in the rainforest. Deforestation has a global affect. If we cut dowen the trees there will be more carbon dioxide  and less oxygen. Trees consume carbon dioxide in the air. If trees get cut down,the carbon dioxide will contribulate to global warming.

When we deforest the plants and trees, we will be killing people also. Some plants hold special medicines people need to cure a desease or sickness. If deforestation kills trees then there will be a higher price for lumber, houses, and other wood made materials. Deforestation is happening all around the world. 

 

 There are many conquecences of deforestation.  We need to stop the downward spiral of the rain forest.  People always are worrying about pollution and the atmosphere and they should, but why not save it at its source.  One way, which is really bad, is burning the forest because it doesn't leave anything alive.

            We need to save the forest because it is about 2% of the earth’s surface. It holds over half of the plants and animals. If we cut down the forest we might never discover more animals.  We also can learn more about strange animals like the albino gorilla. This means the artic will melt which will flood the rainforest. It will also will kill all the animals in the forest.  Then it will cause natural disasters such as erosions,  flooding and climate change.
