Question

List out the effects of deforestation on the environment, animals, birds and humans.

Answer 1

Deforestation has many harmful effects on the environment, wildlife and human life.

1. Effects on the environment: It causes soil erosion, loss of soil fertility, reduction in rainfall, rise in temperature, floods, droughts and an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
2. Effects on animals: Animals lose their natural habitats, food and shelter. This may force them to migrate and can also lead to a decline in their population.
3. Effects on birds: Birds lose nesting places and food sources. Many species may become rare or endangered.
4. Effects on humans: Deforestation reduces the availability of forest products, affects agriculture and water supply, increases the risk of natural disasters and contributes to climate change.

Thus, deforestation disturbs the ecological balance and biodiversity and negatively affects all living beings.
