This is due to high level of their genetic exploitation for the purpose. The seeds of these plants have less tolerance to environmental and calamities and also easily prone to diseases. If this continues, then one has to depend on seed companies for growing any plant.
Further the naturally available plant species are not cultivated and hence in the stage of extinction. This is seen in most of the agricultural grown plants like wheat, cotton, jowar, vegetables etc wherein on might find it difficult to see natural plant seeds without genetic adulteration.

The breakdown of huge trees is easier but the time taken for their huge growth is vast. Even big trees are helpful in triggering the rainfall and also maintain atmospheric moisture level. So cutting down bug trees has more disadvantages.

Minimize deforestation: Deforestation is full fledged in some countries due to growth of cities, town and also requirement to occupy agricultural or forest land for industrial purposes. This greatly hinder natural greenery as many plants are cut down in the process. Further the chances of natural climate in the locality is altered.
