Areas affected by logging are more susceptible to fires due to the number of dried, dead trees.

Deforestation can lead to a direct loss of wildlife habitat, as well as a general degradation of their habitat. ]]> 2016-12-02 20:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/patinoalysssa/ewwuau5lug2p/wish/141505430 Scientific Evidence patinoalysssa https://padlet.com/patinoalysssa/ewwuau5lug2p/wish/142414201 2016-12-07 20:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/patinoalysssa/ewwuau5lug2p/wish/142414201 Solutions patinoalysssa https://padlet.com/patinoalysssa/ewwuau5lug2p/wish/143186154 Deforestation can also be counteracted through awareness and sensitization. Sensitization and educative campaigns can be a simple but a more workable solution. Initiating awareness creation champagnes makes it easy for people to detect the causes, effects, and ways of counteracting deforestation.]]> 2016-12-12 17:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/patinoalysssa/ewwuau5lug2p/wish/143186154
