Consequences of Forest Loss
The destruction of forests has dire consequences. It contributes to climate change by releasing stored carbon dioxide. Biodiversity suffers as countless species lose their natural habitats. Indigenous communities that rely on forests for their livelihood and culture are displaced. Moreover, deforestation can lead to soil erosion, reduced rainfall, and disrupted water cycles, ultimately affecting agriculture and food security.
