Why Is this Important?
|
Forests cover almost a third of the earth’s surface. They are home to many kinds of plants and animals. Forests also provide people all over the world with food, warmth, building materials, medicine and more. Forests give us oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They help keep the earth’s temperature livable. Deforestation is the cutting down of large numbers of trees to use the land for something else. Cutting down trees can affect the climate. After rain falls on a forest, mist rises and new rain clouds form. When forests are cut down, this cycle is disrupted, and the area grows drier.
