Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Trees provide food for birds to survive. Different species occupy a different place in the food chain; however, the destruction of the forests disrupts the whole food chain. Consequently, birds are left with nothing to feed, resulting in their extinction. Moreover, reduced tree cover exposes birds to other prey.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wildfires destroy not only flora (tree, herbs, grassland, forbs, etc.) and their diversity but also considerable long term negative impact on fauna including wild endangered species. Repeated fires can convert some shrub-lands to grass and fire exclusion converts some grassland to shrub-land and forest.

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: -EFFECT OF FOREST FIRE loss of valuable timber resources. degradation of catchment areas. loss of biodiversity and extinction of plants and animals. loss of wildlife habitat and depletion of wildlife.
