La deforestación

Deforestation is rapidly reducing habitats for 70% of land animals and plants, leading to the loss of about 50 species daily. It affects biodiversity, climate, and soil, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Rainforests, crucial for oxygen production, are disappearing, with half already gone. Sustainable practices, like replacing felled trees, can mitigate these effects.
