Question

When we destroy a forest, we destroy:

• A. An ecosystem
• B. Only the food for the wildlife
• C. Only trees
• D. Only wildlife

Answer 1

The correct option is A An ecosystem

A forest ecosystem comprises trees, wildlife, and abiotic components. Both plants and animals are dependent on each other for their survival. There are many species that form an integral part of the forest food chain. Trees provide food and shelter whereas, some animals help in the pollination and dispersal of seeds. Thus, when forests are destroyed, it wipes out the entire forest ecosystem. So, the correct option is A.
