The destruction of forests by cutting down trees is called deforestation. Many animals live in forests. Deforestation causes these animals to lose their homes. In order to protect the animals and preserve their environment, the Government has built many National Parks where poaching, hunting and cutting down of trees is strictly prohibited and illegal.
