the invertebrate and fungi population. At the end of the semester, using information and data collected previously, I presented a research paper explaining the effects of land management practices on carbon sequestration in Costa Rica. I studied deforestation in Costa Rica and some viable reforestation techniques. Writing this paper gave me some background knowledge on the tropical forests of Costa Rica. I have been exposed somewhat through research to some of the

a result, the loss of biodiversity. According to World Wild Life Federation (WWF) , the natural habitat has been damaged by human activities such as deforestation. On the other hand, factories release toxic waste and chemical waste will cause water pollution which will directly influence the habitat devastation for aquatic animals. Thus, deforestation is one of the forms of habitat destruction that lead to animal extinction. Apart from that, taking animals as a profit will also cause animals to be
