Imagine a forest like a big family. When the family is happy and everyone helps each other, the forest is healthy. But when the family is stressed or some members are missing, it can feel dying. A healthy forest has lots of different plants and animals working together, while a dying one might have few species left and not much life.
Examples
- Dying forests have fewer species and sometimes look empty or gray.
- When there’s a big fire, it can make the dying forest worse.
