how deforestation affects the jungle
Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earthâs land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. Deforestation also drives climate change.orests are also cut as a result of growing urban sprawl. Not all deforestation is intentional. Some is caused by a combination of human and natural factors like wildfires and subsequent overgrazing, which may prevent the growth of young trees.
