Abstract

Nature, home to animal and plant species, is suffering the rigors of man's equivocal actions, and species are gradually becoming extinct, water sources disappear, soils are destroyed, the air is rarefied, forests are devastated, leading the planet to a state of agony, where if this situation is not reversed, all forms of life on Earth will succumb. In fact, such a panorama must lead to reflection in order to generate mechanisms for its approach, since the planet demands it, given the different consequences that arise and that deserve immediate attention. Among the problems that affect the environment, there is deforestation, a fact that involves removing a significant number of trees from a geographical space, which triggers a series of adverse effects on the environment. Starting from the preceding approaches, this article aimed to analyze deforestation and its degrading effect on the environment. The study was supported by a documentary-type investigation, using the author of the appropriate techniques and instruments for this purpose. It was concluded that to understand the dimension of this problem, that 80 % of plant and animal species have their home in forests, so that when their habitat disappears, their survival is also injured
