Answer to Question 1

Deforestation leads to an increase in albedo, increased runoff, and decreased evapo-transpiration, which, in turn, can reduce rainfall and increase temperatures..

Answer to Question 2

Instrumental value is the value placed on the benefits resulting from having a certain species in existence. Intrinsic value is the value which we place on the existence of an organism outside of the benefits we gain from having that organism in existence.
