We have all heard of climate change right? But do you know how deforestation affects the world? Deforestation is where people cut down trees and forests which leads to animals losing their homes and adds carbon dioxide into the air as well as removing the ability to absorb existing carbon dioxide. Trees also absorb water during the rainy season and if they are cut down the possibility of flooding increases. Forests and trees also help to prevent soil erosion because they provide shelter to rain and wind which obviously moves the land. Roots help secure the soil and when they are removed it disturbs the soil!
