Hello! I need this essay to be a documented argument in APA. Basically take the side that states that deforestation is bad for the environment, while still explaining the counterargument of people that claim that it has no impact on us. I need to use this thesis statement:
-Even though some people only see the economic benefit in tearing down natural ecosystems, it is important to note that the consequences of these acts not only affect us humans, but it also affects the wildlife that thrives within these areas.
If you want to tweak it its fine, just not a lot since i had to previously submit it to an assignment.
My instructor is asking to use 4 sources, I have attached the PDF’s and the link to the fourth one : https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/deforestation-leading-to-more-infectious-diseases-in-humans
Please I need it to have less than 24% simmilarity or else I will get penalized.
I also added the essay instructions so if you can go through them I will appreciate it.
