- they provide a home for indigenous people ]]> 2017-11-09 07:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/adrianaurresti/tzpshhf53mvi/wish/205147633 Why do we destroy this environment? adrianaurresti https://padlet.com/adrianaurresti/tzpshhf53mvi/wish/205148395

    -Increase of tree cutting can also cause the extinction of certain animals as they won't longer have their habitat becoming easier for hunters and preachers to capture them
    - without an increase in trees, it could become more difficult to find medicine and can also cause new medicine findings to never be found.
    - Millions of people around the world rely on the resources that trees provide us, such as wood used for building and cooking, the foods that come from them 
    - Without trees to anchor fertile soil, erosion can occur and sweep the land into rivers 
    - Decreases of trees can cause disruptions in water cycles as they help keep a balance between water on land and water in the atmosphere. ]]>     2017-11-09 07:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/adrianaurresti/tzpshhf53mvi/wish/205148699
