answer

I found out that there are many factors that result in this situation from happening.Firstly, the effects of deforestation destroys the animals' habitats and the sources of food available in the forests.Having lesser sources of food, the animals may starve and die.Without a safe habitat for animals to live in, this may cause them to be eaten by predators easily. Another factor that causes the habitat loss is the leakage of oil into the sea. Once oil leaks, it will create a layer above the sea water, causing negligible sunlight to pass through this layer,resulting in the marine plants not being able to photosynthesise to make food, eventually they die. When marine plants die, the fishes that feed on them will not have any other food and will die too. Being the predators of such fish, they too cannot survive due to the shortage of this source of food.The whole marine food chain is thus destroyed by the leakage of oil
