    The document discusses how destruction of forests degrades watersheds and ecosystems, negatively impacting the environment, health, and economy. Deforestation leads to degraded water quality, loss of food and medicine from rainforests, and increased costs of water purification and food production. Ecosystems provide essential services worth trillions of dollars, and their destruction would seriously harm human health and disrupt the global economy.
