To make it clear, the scientists said that there is 1.5 billion tons of carbon to be released into the atmosphere each year by cutting down too much trees. Not just that, lots of animal have been lost their habitats and food which help them to survive. The second effect is on human-being. The oxygen, which trees give out and help people to live, has reduced. Besides, cutting down many trees reduces the soil’s ability to retain rainwater.
