Force of water cuts gullies in slopes :O! * Wind erosion – occurs in dry parts of world * What makes soil erosion worse? * Deforestation and removing vegetation. As a result of this soil gets exposed to wind/rain * Overgrazing by animals. Result is same as above * Over cultivating the soil!

could affect the population of animal species‚ mainly poachers and deforestation. Breeding these animals in a safe environment increases the population until it is big enough to be released back into the wild. For example the population of the giant panda was rapidly decreasing from deforestation. Breeding programs were established and now the population of giant pandas is stabilising. In this way‚ keeping an animal in a cage is helping the survival of the species. Keeping an animal in a zoo inclosure
