There are a lot of biotic factors involved. (Biotic means living.)

From the floor to the tree tops every sing living thing in there is going to be involved in one way or another.
Jaguars, sloth, monkeys, snakes, insects.. everything!
They're all involved because it's their home that we are destroying.
Animals that we don't have around here are becoming extinct. They're not replaceable, that's how it's affecting them.

It's also affecting us, we are involved. Why? Well, for two reasons:
Number one is because we're doing the destruction.
You might be saying "Who me? I'm sitting here at my computer reading about this, I'm not doing it."
When the fact is you are. How? Well, you're human.
One of the dumbest things on this planet. We are destroying irreplaceable things for our homes.
So we can have nice floors and show them off to visitors.

Number two is...
we're being destroyed with our own destruction.
What we're really doing is decreasing our time on earth. We need the things that were put on this earth to survive.
Without them, we won't. We take everything for granted, some more than others, but we still do.
Things aren't like going to Star Market to get our food, the food comes from somewhere.
Not the rainforest, but it comes from farms and things like that. That's just an example of how things work.
Everything's made easier today than it was 200 years ago.
We're living the easy, but short life.
