Bleak Future

Human beings have utilized and harmed the forests for their own benefit. Unless action is taken, the forests will continue to be endangered or will eventually become extinct. Several species population will decline and there would less plant and animal diversity. Due to the fact that many of the animal species in the forests are endemic to only certain regions of Cuba, the decline in population will eventually lead to their extinction. If the forests continue to go through human modification, there will be no original forests left. As human beings, we should acknowledge our impact on the environment and work together to change it for the better

Human Impact (WWF-D'Ambrosio)	Effect on Forests
Mining	Damages Ozone layer Loss of biodiversity
Grazing	Soil damage Disrupts habitat
Tourism	Cause damage to plants and animal Destruction of habitats for commercial use Forests are not accustomed to high amounts of industry
The Burning and Logging of the Caribbean Pine	Leads to deforestation Regeneration- loss of original species
Agriculture	Monoculture of citrus plants Loss of diversity
