- Trees are initially cut into logs and transported to mills for processing.
- Logs are processed into boards, with leftover wood converted into small chips.
- Wood chips are broken down into pulp through the addition of chemicals.
- Pulp is cleaned, pressed, dried, and formed into paper using machines.
- The finished paper is rolled and cut into various sizes for distribution.

- What is the initial step in the wood processing process?
- How is paper made from wood in the processing process?
- What is a significant threat to biodiversity mentioned in the text?
The initial step in the wood processing process is cutting trees into logs, which are then taken to the mill for further processing.
Paper is made by converting leftover wood into small chips, breaking them down into pulp, cleaning the pulp, and then feeding it into paper-making machines. The pulp is sprayed onto a moving screen, pressed, dried, and finally cut into various sizes.
A significant threat to biodiversity is that 12,000 species of animals are now threatened with extinction, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts.
