deforestation in south america

something that troubles me is the fact that even though deforestation erodes the earths biodiversity people continue to do it. deforestation takes many animals homes away, forcing them to merge into different areas. the merging causes species to collide and more competition between species is created. the competition kills off many animals and different types of species. logging companies and plantations are responsible for the destruction of one of earths most biodiverse forests. plantations spray pesticides, these pesticides kill animals and wash into rivers killing fish. logging companies exploite one of earths most valuable places to get rich. if people do not stop the destruction of the rainforests in south america it will lead to our own destruction.
