How does deforestation affect biodiversity of forest ecosystem 

Deforestation means cutting down a large amount of trees as well as plants from a forest for other human activities or economic purposes. Deforestation affects the biodiversity in many ways, when a large amount of trees are cut down in a forest, the animals living in that area both carnivores and herbivores loose their source of shelter and food. Some of these animals will succeed in finding a new habitat but some of them will not be able to survive this change in habitat. This might result in the extinction of that species.
