Explain the effects of excessive use of forest products.

✍👉Excessive use of forest products leads to:

1. Deforestation, reducing tree cover and disrupting ecosystems.
2. Loss of biodiversity, threatening plant and animal species.
3. Soil erosion, as tree roots are removed, leading to loss of fertile soil.
4. Climate change, due to reduced carbon absorption and increased emissions.
5. Disruption of the water cycle, causing droughts and water scarcity.
6. Harming indigenous communities, who depend on forests for their livelihood.
