NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Deforestation causes the forest to dry out and can cause drought and wildfires. Reduction of Biodiversity – The destruction of forests destroys the homes, habitat and food sources for the species that live there. It is estimated that 100, 000 species become extinct in tropical forests yearly.

Detailed explanation-2: -As well as the vivid beauty that comes with great diversity in plants and animals, rainforests also play a practical role in keeping our planet healthy. By absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing the oxygen that we depend on for our survival. The absorption of this CO2 also helps to stabilize the Earth’s climate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for Indigenous people.

Detailed explanation-4: -Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide. If forests are cleared, or even disturbed, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Forest loss and damage is the cause of around 10% of global warming. There’s simply no way we can fight the climate crisis if we don’t stop deforestation.
