Why do we have high diversity of plants and animals in tropical rainforest
Deforestation and loss of biodiversity is a problem in many forests in different parts of the world. In no more than 400 words, discuss the effects and consequences due to deforestation and loss of biodiversity in rain forests.
Most humans would agree that they wouldn’t want to intentionally destroy something useful or valuable, and most agree that rainforests are valuable. If this is so, what is driving humans living in or near rainforests to destroy their own ecosystems?
