Passage: 30
Forests are large areas covered with trees, plants, and wildlife. They provide oxygen, store carbon dioxide, and help regulate the climate. Forests are home to many animals and plants, some of which are found nowhere else. They also provide resources like wood, fruits, and medicines. Deforestation, or the cutting down of trees, is a major threat to forests. It leads to soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, and climate change.
