    Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest negatively impacts people, animals, and plants. It destroys the homes and living areas of indigenous tribes, reduces habitats for millions of animal species, and cuts down over 70% of the world's plant and tree populations that provide medicines and nutrients to the ecosystem. The loss of trees also exacerbates climate change and flooding that further damages human settlements and displaces wildlife.
