Solution

Various types of animals (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores) live in forests, and they help in growing and regenerating forests in many ways, like:

Animals help in dispersing plant seeds from one part of forest to other, thus helping in the pollination process.

Decaying animal dung provides nutrients for plants to grow.

Micro-organisms convert the dead animals to humus, which increases the fertility of the soil in forest, and helps new pants to grow.
