What are the effects of deforestation on wildlife?
Deforestation negatively impacts wildlife by causing habitat loss, reducing food sources, and increasing the risk of extinction.
Deforestation increases wildlife populations by creating new habitats.
Deforestation has no impact on wildlife behavior or survival.
