Deforestation effects the natural habitat of the animals of forests leading to endangering of different plants and animals. It also reduces diversity of environment, causes global warming, change in climate, rainfall patterns etc.
Desertification is caused due to deforestation, due to natural calamities like forest fires, overgrazing and even due to over population.
