Forests, simply an area with a high density of trees, have held great importance to mankind ever since prehistoric days. Forests provide multiple benefits to the environment, people, and animals:
Forests provide different kinds of wood, which are used for different purposes, including manufacturing furniture, paper and pencils.
Deforestation has many negative effects on the environment. Seventy percent of Earth’s land animals and plants, which live in forests, cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.
Jimmy the Squirrel helps kids understand the effect destroying forests has on animals.
Deforestation also drives climate change because without the protection from sun, the trees will quickly dry. Trees also help perpetuate the water cycle by returning water vapor back into the atmosphere.
Jimmy the squirrel is keen to protect the forest trees, and protect the homes of his friends and all the animals in the forest.
