2. Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs.

• Paragraph 2 should describe how deforestation disrupts the carbon cycle.

• In paragraph 3, you'll write about how deforestation disrupts the hydrologic (water) cycle.

• In paragraph 4, you'll explain how deforestation is related to declining species diversity.

3. Paragraph 5 is your conclusion paragraph. Here, you can describe how you feel about the three effects of deforestation discussed, and what we might do about it.
