Old growth forests provide a habitat for many species of plants and animals, some of which are endangered.

Okay thanks. I get the second part to this, but I dont get the first one.
Should old growth trees be cut down and used or preserved?
I dont know about this.
What does this mean?
Many old-growth forest stands are threatened by habitat destruction through excessive logging. This destruction reduces biodiversity, affecting not only the old-growth forest itself, but also indigenous species that rely upon old-growth forest habitat
When old growth trees are cut down -- they're gone. Period. The animals that depend upon them are thus endangered and may become extinct. I think old growth forests should be protected from commercial interests and be permitted to flourish.
Your second statement means that when old-growth forests are destroyed, many native animals and plants are also destroyed.
yeah you are right and if they do get cut down they will cause pollution.
