Deforestation is a threat to biodiversity and climate stability from "summary" of The Sacred Balance by David T. Suzuki,Amanda McConnell
Deforestation poses a serious threat to the intricate web of life on our planet. As trees are felled at an alarming rate, entire ecosystems are disrupted and destroyed. Biodiversity, the variety of plant and animal species that inhabit a given area, is greatly diminished as a result. When forests are cleared, countless species lose their habitats, pushing them to the brink of extinction. Furthermore, deforestation has far-reaching implications for climate stability. Trees play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. As trees are cut down, this natural carbon sink is lost, leading to an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This, in turn, contributes to global warming and the destabilization of our climate system. The destruction of forests not only affects the natural wor...
