Deforestation has several negative effects on wildlife, including loss of habitat, disruption of food chains, increased risk of extinction for species, and loss of biodiversity. When forests are cleared, many animals lose their homes and sources of food, leading to population declines and sometimes extinction. Additionally, deforestation can fragment habitats, making it difficult for wildlife to find suitable areas to live and reproduce. This can also lead to an increase in human-wildlife conflicts as animals venture into human settlements in search of food and shelter. Overall, deforestation has a significant impact on wildlife populations and ecosystems.
