Comprehension Passage: The Forest Ecosystem

Many species rely on forests for habitat, food, and shelter. Deforestation, caused by human activities such as logging and agriculture, threatens this delicate balance. Conservation efforts aim to preserve these habitats and ensure the sustainability of forest ecosystems for future generations.
