When we conserve forests , we conserve wildlife and soil also. Explain this statement

Forests are home to a variety of birds and animals. They serve as natural habitats for various species. When we conserve forests we are basically not destroying the ecological habitats of these animals inturn helping them to thrive.

Forests have a wide variety of plants and trees. These plants hold the soil particles together by their roots. Thus the soil is not carried away by wind, water or rain. Hence forest conservation binds the soil together preventing its erosion as well.
