Deforestation can have a range of negative effects on ecosystems, including:

  1. Loss of biodiversity: Deforestation can lead to the destruction of habitats, causing species to lose their homes and disrupting the delicate balance of ecosystems.

  2. Climate change: Trees play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide and regulating the Earth's climate. Deforestation can lead to increased levels of greenhouse gases.
