Title: Re: How does clearing forests affect the landscape? Post by: aembry on Nov 25, 2016 Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. The most dramatic impact is a loss of habitat for millions of species. Seventy percent of Earth's land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.

Post by: leesajohnson on Nov 25, 2016 Deforestation occurs because of agriculture (the need for clear pieces of land in which to plant crops), logging operations, and subsistence farming, in which a small farmer will use the trees for fuel and food to make room for grazing animals or a small field of crops to grow.
