What is deforestation?
Deforestation is the name for the cutting down forests for paper, timber, oil and more. Deforestation is a good money source so LOTS of people do it especially in Borneo, Poor places (mostly African places) and one of the BIG places was the Easter Islands, everybody cut down all the trees (well the big ones not the twigy little thigs) and they died from starvation (all the trees gone ment no cannos for fishing) and fighting for the leftover twigy things.
What effect is it for animal and plant species?
Deforestation causes the land mass to decrees at a huge rate (a football field a second) so animals will have less food like plants and animals (100 animal and plant species are wiped out each day)
What other effects will it have?
Lots! rain forests are in charge of 20% of oxygen (trees clean the air) we have.
