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 has a tremendous effect on the biosphere. It leads to carbon emissions, changes in water and other elemental cycles, destruction of habitat, and biodiversity loss. The primary reason for deforestation is the conversion of forested lands to agricultural lands.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most known consequence of deforestation is its threat to biodiversity. In fact, forests represent some of the most veritable hubs of biodiversity. From mammals to birds, insects, amphibians or plants, the forest is home to many rare and fragile species. 80% of the Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests.
