Answer 2

Answer:

1. Hint: Evergreen forests are so dense that sunlight does not reach the ground. Deciduous forests are those forests that are not so dense. There is no particular season for the evergreen trees to shed their leaves while deciduous forests have a particular season to shed their leaves like in summer.
2. The primary reason to conserve forests and wildlife is to provide oxygen to breathe. ... Forests provide shelter to a wide range of animals. If the trees are destroyed, these animals also die as they do not have their natural habitat. This destruction makes many of the endangered species of plants and animals extinct.
