Deforestation is typically referring to the cutting of trees in a specific area, which is also called ‘logging’, and not replanting them. Eighty per cent of Earth’s land animal and plant population are found in forests. What does this mean for these animals and plants and why is it such a big controversy around the world? A certain process, called ‘Photosynthesis’ is when the leaves of a tree absorb carbon dioxide and water. The energy released from the Sun is then used to convert them into chemical compounds, like sugars that feed the trees. Another result is also oxygen being released from the tree. Oxygen is then a necessity in a process called respiration. In respiration, the oxygen is absorbed and, along with the sugar that is fed to the trees, human’s and animal’s can get energy which allows them to be active. A small sub-section of respiration is cellular respiration. It breaks down the sugar and provides energy by anything eaten by an animal. So what is so bad about deforestati...
