There is both direct and inderect impact on the Temperate Deciduous forest from humans. Human industries make a big impact on the Temperate Deciduous Forests. Some indirect impacts include global warming, tree diseases, air pollution and. Some direct impacts include deforestation. Forest fires can be direct and indirect. Sometimes people cause fires to clear the land, and other times the fire could be started by accident.

The Grey Wolf that walks through the Temperate Deciduous forest has now been taken off the endangered species list! This wonderful wolf was at first endangered because of habitat loss and farmers killing them because they had eaten their live stock. Yellowstone National park was then used as a rehabilitation forest for these wolves. The wolves made Yellowstone all the more popular as visitors came to see this beautiful animal.

Logging has bean a problem in these woods for a long time. As the demand for wood became stronger the Temperate Deciduous forests became smaller. There are a few sollutions for this problem that can help with out the complete stop of logging. One is to set a fair limit to how much forest is cut down each time, thus allowing the parts that were cut down to grow back a little.

The Emerald Ash borer is a beetle brought to the USA from Asia. The larva of the beetle, as the name sugests, eats Ashwood trees. They have taken down a large number of these once plentiful trees. Parks and campgrounds are making several precautions by not allowing people to bring their own wood into the parks. One way to help reduce this problem is to not burn ash wood trees, as it releases the beetles and larva into the air.
