PART B_2

Plants, animals, and, of course, humans all rely on the natural environment on land. However, because of human activity, the natural habitat on land is rapidly decreasing. For example, desertification and severe droughts are both results of deforestation. The loss of agricultural fields has a negative impact on the local population and wildlife. All living creatures would be endangered if these forests disappeared, as forests provide air, water, and food.

Buying products with the FSC certification mark is one step we can take. This mark is applied to wood that has been manufactured using economically sustainable production techniques. You can find it on paper products such as juice packages and toilet paper, so when you buy things, pay some attention.
