Pluto is truly a well-trained dog. Like his master Mickey, he can get into a large amount of trouble but has enough brains to escape the situation. He acts as Mickey's sidekick, best friend, conscience in some occasions, and pet.
Deforestation causes some of the worst soil erosion. Forests keep soil where it is. The root structures of trees and other plants hold it in place, the natural mulch of leaves prevents soil from being exposed to the erosive forces of wind and rain. The canopy helps soften the impact of heavy rains.
Deforestation not only affects the climate by increasing the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide but also affects the environment by inhibiting water recycling, triggering severe flooding, aquifer depletion, soil degradation and the extinction of plant and animal species.
