The TREE itself is a home to many other living organisms.

Many other living creatures like beetles, bugs, ants, spiders, crickets and what not, can be found residing in the bark and limbs of a tree. There will also be a number of birds happily nesting and roosting atop. We can also find numerous varieties of small plants like ferns, mosses, orchids and curious organisms like Lichens. Then there will be many innumerable but invisible (for us) microscopic organisms like bacteria, fungi etc.

Inside the soil, especially close to the tree's roots (technically rhizosphere) there will be many insects, earthworms and soil resident microbes. When a tree falls (or is felled) they perish.

So next time before you cut a tree or one of its limbs, imagine how many "homes" are you going to destroy?
