According to the World Resources Institute, only about 15% of the world's forests, which are key to maintaining biodiversity, remain intact after the degradation caused by logging, fires and agricultural expansion. Millions of plant and animal species are currently facing extinction due to habitat destruction.South America is a major area of concern for the spread of infectious diseases due to rapid deforestation of the Amazon rainforest by logging and mining, which researchers say will aggravate forest fires and the spread of Covid-19 in the region.

Consequences of destruction

Biodiversity loss.Extinction of species, which not only remains in the extinction of one or several species, since everything is chained, due to trophic networks, among other aspects. A species disappears and the one that fed on it will end the same, and so on.Increased pollution.Increase of some species to become.Dangerous for the environment the number of individuals that exist, due to the lack of predators, that may have been eliminated due to the destruction of their habitat.

Destruction in the Artics

Over the past 30 years the total Arctic sea ice area has decreased in summer. This not only causes major changes in local Arctic ecosystems, but also affects climate systems around the world.The thickness of the Arctic ice has decreased the40%in the last 30 years.Sea level has risen19cmsince 1901.From an increase of2ºCat global mean temperature the worst effects of climate change will begin to be apparent.

Observations indicate that when Arctic land ice (that of glaciers) disappears, sea level is likely to rise and climate patterns in the northern hemisphere will change. The effects will probably vary by geographical area, some will suffer hotter and drier summers, others more rainy summers while in others the winters will be colder and there will be more storms.
