Deforestation has a significant impact on global biodiversity as it results in the loss and fragmentation of habitats for many plant and animal species. The removal of trees and vegetation reduces the available food sources, shelter, and breeding grounds for various species, leading to a decline in biodiversity. This can disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems, leading to the extinction of species and the loss of genetic diversity. Deforestation also contributes to climate change, which further impacts biodiversity worldwide. Efforts to combat deforestation and promote reforestation are crucial in protecting global biodiversity.
