How can deforestation negatively impact biodiversity?
A
less trees in the area
B
harvesting of specific trees
C
reduce animal habitat and food source
D
more animals in adjacent forest
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Deforestation can directly lead to biodiversity loss when animal species that live in the trees no longer have their habitat, cannot relocate, and therefore become extinct. Deforestation can lead certain tree species to permanently disappear, which affects biodiversity of plant species in an environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deforestation leads to Habitat Fragmentation Habitat fragmentation may lead to too small spaces that prevent wildlife species from thriving. Besides, it also leads to reduced shelter, food, and hunting space. Moreover, a fragmented forest can only support a smaller population of animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deforestation Destroys Vast Areas of Migratory Bird Habitat Deforestation is one of the most dramatic land uses affecting migratory birds because it changes or removes entire regions of ecosystems and habitats. From a bird’s eye view, the impact of land use on tropical forests is unmistakable.
