1) Local communities where the logging occurs suffer. They lose a natural resource they need for shelter, fuel, or other purposes.
2) Depletes the environment of good soil quality-- can also result in soil erosion and desertification
3) Depletes the environment of biodiversity-- trees are not only being taken away, but also the homes of animals, causing animals to adapt/move or die
4) Trees help reduce the excess amount of carbon in our atmosphere-- without these carbon sinks, global warming and carbon in the air will continue to worsen
5) We keep logging at an unsustainable rate and trees are not growing back fast enough. If we keep it up with unsustainable logging practices, our future of forests is a major concern
