The growth of cities, industry and urbanization has increased the demand for raw materials that create the places where we live and work. Cutting down trees can result in loss of habitat for animal species, which can damage ecosystems. According to National Geographic, "70 percent of the land's animals and plants live in forests, and many will not survive the deforestation that is destroying their homes." Large-scale tree felling can lead to deforestation, a change of area from forest to land with small vegetation. Plants produce oxygen and absorb greenhouse gases. Damage to trees can, therefore, encourage global warming. Temperature changes can change which organisms can survive in an ecosystem.
