Impact of Deforestation on Howler Monkeys

In the heart of the rainforest, an extensive study was conducted to understand the impact of deforestation on local wildlife. Researchers found that as trees were removed for logging, many species faced drastic changes in their natural habitats. Among the most affected were the howler monkeys, which rely on dense canopies for food and shelter. The loss of trees not only reduced their food sources but also increased their vulnerability to predators, leading to a significant decrease in their population. Furthermore, the study revealed that deforestation contributed to soil erosion, which could have long-term effects on the ecosystem.
