6) Deforestation affects the environment trees, of course, absorb carbon dioxide and as human beings put more and more carbon dioxide into theatmosphere, the more trees we cut down, the more we hinder the ability of the planet to balance how much carbon is in the atmosphere.

6)The main causes of deforestation can be classified into three categories. Basically, industrial uses, chopping down the forest to build factories or to build residentialareas.
|

6) The second one is agriculture. So cutting down forest in order to grow

|
|
|
6)And the third cause is life stock. So, in many places, for example, in Brazil, deforestation is caused by farmers clearing theland to create pasture land for cows.
|

|
|
|
6)But another impact of chopping down forests is, of course, reducing the habitat for animals to live in. Every year over thousand different species go extinct around theworld. That is a conservative estimate, and a big chunk of that happens because of deforestation.
