As it pertains to the more integral elements of nature, animals take a significant role in the balance of the ecosystem. Loggers need to understand that endangering animals and their habitats does not bode well for the loggers themselves. Destroying habitats means destroying animals, and destroying animals precipitates the inability to reproduce quickly enough to maintain a biodiverse equilibrium. This leads to a disruption within the ecosystem that can provoke wild consequences like stalling the growth of the loggers’ desirable trees, for instance. Imagine that. Some species of animals and insects actually promote tree growth, so as lumbermen slash down the woody plants, they actually decelerate the process of gaining them back for further

Even though most of it happens on the other side of the globe, that doesn’t mean that it lacks an influence in the daily lives of the American people. In addition, the potential emissions from releasing trees’ carbon in the Amazon outweighs that of man-made greenhouse gases (Rainfall and Temperature). Not only does the common person contribute to the greenhouse effect by driving a car, but that person mostly likely does not know of the jeopardizing crisis that deforestation engenders. Most plebeians of America would dismiss this emergency as nonrelative because it won’t impact their daily lives in any way, …show more content…
Between 1990 and 2005, Brazil stripped over 42 million hectares of land (Causes of Deforestation). One hectare equals roughly two-and-a-half acres. That makes it approximately 105 million acres lost. As the second worst country, Indonesia demolished approximately 27 million hectares during that time. But, the larger nations do not always yield the greatest deforestation percentages. A small island country off the coast of Madagascar, Comoros destroyed 60% of its rainforest (Causes of Deforestation). Also in Africa, Burundi totaled to 47%, which for a miniature nation, it seems like half their country
