Answer 1

Environment can simply be defined as :Everything around you including you". Environment is a sum of biological, physical and chemical factors and their continuous interactions.

Environment provided services to us necessary for our living i.e food, shelter, water, air, temperature, humidity etc. Interaction among all these factors made life possible on earth. Disturbance in any of the factor leads to the disturbace in whole system e.g. extinction of few animals can disturb the food chain of an ecosystem.

Animals and forests are the part of environment but the environment is much more than that including our society, and economy also.

Answer 2

Animals & forests (and other areas) are the environment.  Everything works with each other.  If we start losing pieces of the environment then it is a domino effect and they will all start disappearing.  Then we will not have enough food and other resources needed to  survive on.
