Amazon Rainforest Deforestation

Deforestation is the mass cutting down of trees, or the permanent destruction of forests. Deforestation is a world problem but is majorly found in South American countries like Brazil. The deforestation in the Brazilian rainforest first began in 1970. The rate of deforestation has only increased rapidly since then. Rain forests cover over 30% of Earth’s land.

The Amazon Rainforest trees provide the air that we need and the trees are been cut down which means we will have less oxygen in the atmosphere and more carbon dioxide. Eventually, all living things die. Deforestation increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the air because when the trees die they release carbon dioxide in the air. Native tribes rely on the trees for shelter and medicine. If the people living in the Amazon rainforest breath all the carbon dioxide in the air they will at some point get sick and die because they have little medication.

If we continue cutting down forests then soon we will no longer have any forests. It is extremely unfortunate how over 50% of the world forests have been cut down. As a result animals are loosing their habituate and species are going extinct. Not only are animals effected but even humans and the rest of the environment. Rain forests and other forests produce most oxygen that we need.

But was destroying it by putting lots of plants in the same area then it losses nutrition then they have to go to a new spot and do the same thing again and again. I also talked about how the ranchers destroyed the rainforest because cattle don’t belong in the rainforest and cattle eat grass and when they eat all the grass they move to a new spot and they have to cut down the trees to build a house and live there until the cattle has eaten all the grass and there's no more. The logger which cuts down lots of trees and losses animals homes. Last but not least the environmental groups, they try to save the rainforest because we destroyed it in the first

According to the World Wildlife Fund, approximately twenty-seven soccer fields worth of trees are cut down per minute (Hook). Deforestation is a major environmental problem occurring all over the world. Trees are being cut down constantly for a number of reasons, which is greatly harming the environment. Deforestation is causing more and more problems in the world such as, global warming and loss of habitat. Trees are being cut down at a very fast rate and we need to do something about it before it is too late.

A Research Proposal On Analysing The Positive and Negative Impacts of Deforestation in Malaysia. 1.0 Introduction & Purpose Deforestation is the activity of clearing the woodland or open space, generally to expand the use of farming land or wood harvesting (Dudley 2014). This activity has been going on for many years but the government does not think it is a major problem in Malaysia. Nonetheless, deforestation has brought both benefits and losses to the people. Thus, the purpose of this report is to analyse the positive and negative impacts of deforestation in Malaysia.

Unfortunately deforestation is reducing the size of the Amazon drastically. The cattle sector of the Brazilian Amazon has been responsible for about 80% of all deforestation in the region making it the world's largest single driver of deforestation. Much of the remaining deforestation within the Amazon has resulted from farmers clearing land for small-scale farming. We wait with baited breathe to see the full impact of climate change on this precious bio-diversity. Only time will

The Amazon rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest in the world. It covers 1.4 billion acres. Majority of the Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil, but it is also in the surrounding countries. Within the Amazon rainforest, 10% of the world’s known species live and 20% of the world’s bird species. There are around 2.5 million different insects and over 40,000 different species.

Dust storms wrecked havoc and choked cattle. Farmers couldn’t make money because their crops were destroyed. The rains of dust were called “Black Blizzards.” The Dust Bowl drove 60% population out of the region. By 1940 2.5 million people fled the region.

This exhibits his change in demeanor from cutting down one tree to an abundance of trees. It shows the connection between the human industry destroying one tree and gradually taking many to satisfy the demand. According to National Geographic, nearly 80 percent of the world’s natural forest is depleted and “up to 90 percent of West Africa’s coastal rain forests have disappeared since 1900” (National Geographic).

Native Amazonians have been around longer than writing, they use the forest to survive (food, shelter, etc.) and I like to argue that, yes they are trying to save their forest but they also contribute to deforestation. If we want these people to continue living in their traditional manner in the rainforest and for us not to lose what used to be 14% of our earth’s land surface, we as people need to act and find other ways of surviving without rapid deforestation. To conclude, we know people aren’t doing much to replant trees at the same or faster rate than the deforestation process, based on the rate at which the rain forest has been deforested in the past 55 years, we know we’ve lost about 8% already and so we know we’re going to lose the forest within Forty Years, (no one expected that when they

Did you know, one and a half acres of forest is destroyed every second? Rainforests are being destroyed at alarming rates, and serious things need to be done! If we don’t stop rainforests from being cut down, animals will go extinct, and habitats will be destroyed.

Lake Superior by its surface area it is the world’s largest freshwater lake. Out of the Great Lakes it is the deepest lake of them all. Lake Superior also contains 10% of all the freshwater supply on the earth. Lake Superior also contains more water that all the other great lakes by a lot. There also is enough water to flood North & South America by a depth of 1 foot.

2015: A promising year, full of opportunities, though less than 3 months away from coming to a close. Not more than 100 years ago, things were not the same as they exist now. Major problems were faced in eras such as the Progressive Era. Such problems that people faced back then were women’s suffrage, child labor, and deforestation.
