Key Concepts

Habitat Loss

Habitat loss refers to the process by which natural habitats are destroyed or altered, leading to a decline in the biodiversity they support. In the context of deforestation, the removal of forests eliminates the living spaces for countless species, which directly correlates with their reduced survival and eventual extinction due to insufficient resources, shelter, and breeding grounds.

Co-extinction

Co-extinction describes the phenomenon where the extinction of one species leads to the loss of other species that are ecologically dependent on it. When deforestation causes the disappearance of a host species or a critical component of an ecosystem, other species that rely on that habitat or its interactions can also face extinction, thereby magnifying the impact on overall biodiversity.
