The Error of the Evolution
of Species
Deforestation has a negative impact on Earth's water cir-
culation and climatic balances. The frequent floods and
droughts currently being experienced in certain parts of the
world are some of the consequences.

erosion and protect soil against the erosive affects of rain
and wind. Lester R. Brown, Founder of the World Watch
