Well the loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for indigenous people.

Answer:

By cutting down trees, we are stripping the Earth of it's ability to undo all of our climate change. Climate change is caused by humans releasing carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, and trees soak up 50 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. So, cutting down trees is basically helping climate change. Deforestation is also affecting the Earth because all the animals who live in forests and trees are going to go extinct if they can't find a new home and adapt to it.
