The Ecological Consequences of Tree Felling in the Table Mountain National Park
Tree felling in the Table Mountain National Park has had (devastating!) consequences for its ecology. The removal of trees causes a disruption to the balance of species living in the park, as well as a reduction of soil fertility and water availability! Animals that rely on trees for habitat and food may struggle to survive, while plants can no longer use them for shelter or shade. Plants also can't access essential nutrients from fallen leaves and branches. The destruction of tree cover leads to erosion and increased threats from wildfires.
Moreover, (the) tree felling affects air quality by releasing pollutants into the atmosphere and reducing oxygen levels. This can cause respiratory illnesses in humans as well as other animals living nearby. As if this weren't bad enough, it also contributes to global warming due to carbon dioxide being released into the environment.
Consequently, (it is clear) that tree felling has caused significant harm to the ecology of the Table Mountain National Park. In order to protect this unique ecosystem, it's essential that we take action now before any further damage is done! By replanting trees and protecting existing ones we can ensure that future generations get to enjoy this beautiful park just like we do today.
