Question

In 2 paragraphs explain:

Which Push-Pull factor was the biggest impact on Americans immigrating to the West?

Actually the concern should not be about losing a few plants and animals; mankind stands to lose much more. By destroying the tropical forests we risk our own quality of life, gamble with the stability of climate and local weather, threaten the existence of other species, and undermine the valuable services provided by biological diversit
