How does deforestation effect animals, plants and ourselves?
I know we think that by cutting down trees we are helping us to stay alive, but that is not true. Trees provide us with
paper, but there are other ways to make it without harming the environment. They also provide us with other more important
things like shade and air. Without them we would either burn up or run out of oxygen! Tell me, would you rather
run out of paper or run out of oxygen? Also the animals need trees as much as us. They use them to build houses
to but also many live in trees. So, in cutting down trees we cut down their homes. But like I said, they cut trees
down too. For example beavers cut down trees to make their dams (homes) but that’s just instinct, they can’t
help it but we can. It also immensely harms the environment. Places that used to be vast forests are now immense
farmlands! I know it may not seem like it but trees and other plants are living creatures and in cutting them down we
are taking their innocent lives.
