Deforestation is one of the leading affects on migratory species. Migratory species are at a high risk with every deforestation; they rely on the forest to recover and replenish after long journeys from their winter homelands. Since forests are constantly being chopped down and turned into agricultural land. We sometimes take more than we need from the forest which causes a decline in the migratory species' population. Deforestation not only leaves the species without a home to recover, but it also affects their health as they have to now search other areas for food and shelter. 

Migratory species help benefit us as much as they do themselves. During migration, certain species like bees are often pollinating different areas as they go on their journey. They are a food source for many other organisms and they provide pest control. If deforestation continues at the same rate, these species could become endangered which could ultimately come back to hurt us. It is better if we protect certain areas of forest and other migratory corridors so we can help these species and in return they will help us. It is in both our interests that we protect these lands and the animals that inhabit them.
