And now the other problems caused by deforestation :
One of the problems first with deforesting the rainforests is that the soil is only of use to farmers before the nutrients have been sapped out and then suffer severe erosion without the forest of roots to prevent this, exacerbating the situation. Another problem is the loss of biodiversity, with many known and unknown species facing extinction (and potentially robbing us of future beneficial discoveries) and a large amount of the carbon dioxide-absorbing trees vanishing (and exacerbating any potential climate change).
