Why the world is losig its forests?

Forests are the lungs of the earth destruction of the world forests amounts to death of the world we currently know to what extent do you agree or disagree?

• Answer:

  I totally agree with that statement. There is only 3% of our rain forests left and in them reside 50% of animal species, so total destruction of our rain forests alone would cause extintion to nearly 50% of animal life and that's not to mention weather etc. So yes even regular forests are vital to our earth for many of the same reasons listed above. They also keep the earth from eroding and this is shown through the growth of the amount of desert that is continuing to cover the earth at an alarming rate. A couple of things that trees do is to provide oxygen to us and help filter our air from smog etc. not to mention weather, shade, and a home for animals.
