What are some specific reasons to protect the deciduous forest?
Thanks in advance!
 
Save wild life.
Endangered trees or plant life.
Certain trees which wildlife might live in or eat from that may not be able to be found for another couple of miles.
Protect areas which may have history or culture.
Oxygen levels.
 
to keep carbon locked away and to save the diversity of life that will never come back. to save tribes and there way of living. To have one place left that we can call true earth.

I think the question is silly really. Its the most obvious answer ive ever given

EDIT - there is a cure for cancer but we wouldnt make any money through health systems if we cured it. Populations would rise further and it would mean people could live for ever. They no how to do this but is causes servere cancer.
 
Because of biodiversity. A lot of different plant and animal species are there, many still undiscovered. One of those plants may harbour a cure for cancer or AIDS.

Because they act as a respiritary system for the planet, exchanging gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen. This is true not only of the forests, but the seas. Plankton swarms produce more oxygen that the rainforests.

And of course the forest holds the soil together, preventing it from eroding away.
