It is estimated that half of the 10 million species of organisms on the planet live in the tropical rain forests. Deforestation of the rain forest causes the extinction of as many as 50,000 species per year. Clearing tropical rain forests causes the extinction of many species because

• plants and animals are exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide.

• pollution caused by humans increases the greenhouse effect.

• many unique habitats and ecosystems are being completely destroyed.

• destruction of the rainforest contributes to the depletion of the ozone.
