Continued deforestation will likely cause the loss of plant and animals species, resulting in an increase in the number of endangered, extinct, and threatened species. This arises from the widespread loss of habitats that results from deforestation.

As it well known fact that 70-80% of the plants and land animals live in forest, continuous deforestation may lead to threatening of various species. Large number of trees in forest help by blocking the sun ray's during the day and by retaining the heat during night. Deforestation would lead to disruption of such phenomenon further leading to extreme temperatures harming the plants and animals.
