Detailed explanation-1: -Deforestation reduces biodiversity by disrupting the hydrologic cycle, destroying habitat, causing soil erosion, and, in extreme cases, can lead to desertification. Thus, the loss of biodiversity does not cause deforestation. Thus, statement 4 is incorrect.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -According to the FAO, Nigeria has the world’s highest deforestation rate of primary forests. It has lost more than half of its primary forest in the last five years.
