Deforestation

One thing that has always bothered me is deforestation. After the video in class about deforestation, I realized that many species are being destroyed. I believe that the human population needs to leave the forests untouched because if we continue to cut down trees and to destroy habitats, people one hundred years from now won't even realize how many species of frogs or fish or birds there were. Deforestation is causing the world to change. There have been plenty of frog species that were extinct before the human population knew about them. I just haven't understood why humans haven't found other resources to prevent deforestation. If our civilization would recycle better we might have a better chance on keeping certain species alive. But until then, deforestation will continue to destroy habitats.
