deforestation and its effects on biodiversity

Deforestation refers to the deliberate clearing of forests for various purposes, such as agriculture, logging, or urbanization, resulting in the permanent loss of trees and vegetation. This widespread removal of forests has detrimental effects on biodiversity, as it leads to the depletion and fragmentation of habitats for countless plant and animal species. Consequently, deforestation significantly decreases the diversity and abundance of species, disrupts ecosystems, disturbs natural cycles, and poses a threat to the overall balance of the environment.
