Why does it affect biodiversity if you bring firewood into a national park? The wood provides habitat for species that live within the park. Exotic species can be introduced if they are living in the wood. The smoke from fires kills animals nearby. Firewood is toxic to many plants. Many species are repelled by the presence of firewood.
