In order to expand agriculture and stimulate a sagging economy, the Brazilian government eased environmental laws which allowed large tracts of rainforest to be cut down or burned. In three to five sentences, construct a potential chain of consequences for what can happen as a result of this kind of deforestation. The chain does not have to be linear (i.e., five steps in a row), but can have several branches, one for each different potential consequence. Your chain should include at least four steps, including the original event. make it short and write it like a 4th grader

1. Cutting down the rainforest can lead to habitat destruction, causing animals to lose their homes and populations to decrease.
2. With fewer trees to absorb carbon dioxide, the air quality can get worse and contribute to global warming.
3. Deforestation can also lead to soil erosion, making it harder for plants to grow and produce food.
4. To help fix these problems, people can plant more trees, support organizations that protect forests, and use sustainable farming practices.
