      There is lots wrong with deforestation: it affects animals (big & small) reducing biodiversity; it reduces water filtration, meaning less clean water for fish life as well as humans; and it hugely impacts the climate as the trees are no longer there to absorb CO2.

      The worst is its effect on the animals and lifeforms that depend on it. Also, the fact that we are losing a carbon sink.

      Forests are like the Earths lungs, without them we wouldn’t have oxygen, they are essential to maintaining the air that we breath. Also, as they suck in CO2 they are a very important way we can tackle climate change.
