Forests and trees are the number one source of oxygen on our planet. We need forests to produce oxygen and clean the atmosphere to help us breathe. We also know that the earth's climate can be affected, as well as the water cycle. With this being said, animals are losing their homes at a rapid rate. Some species may be at risk for extinction.
