Week 3

Deforestation
Deforestation has many negative effects on our planet. It causes climate change and loss of habitats for millions of species. It also damages the quality of the land. Deforestation is mainly caused because of agriculture. The land is being used for planting crops or raising livestock. Forests are also cut down for money or people's need to provide for their families. Loggers go out into the forest and cut down trees and many times illegally. At this rate rain forests could be completely gone in a hundreds of years because of humans actions in the forests.
