Located in the northern part of South America, the Amazon is shared by nine countries and one of them is Brazil. His point of reference of the great stretches to almost 60% of Brazilian territory. Full and rich with trees 120 feet high and equipped with species both known and unknown to man, the Amazon forest is a home race for the human and the animal kingdom.
Also posted in absorbing carbon dioxide and is the main contributor to the prevention of greenhouse gas emissions accumulate in the surface of our atmosphere. However, with increasing rates of deforestation in the Amazon, the world can be supported in the hands of mortals.
Imagine what it would be if the trends of the Amazon forest is dying? Its emissions of carbon dioxide accumulated time flows back into the air, and the sudden negative emissions likely. Our wildlife soon exhausted and the main source of natural life, without doubt, will end.
The Roots of deforestation in the Amazon
Each year, the giant land areas of the Amazon rainforest are destroyed for the sole purpose of agricultural use and the main culprits are poor farmers and large companies. Small areas of forest clearing is a way to feed the impoverished population, while vast areas were drained for conversion of forest vegetation for soya. Statistically speaking, these companies achieve the level of planting soybeans in the Midwest, and gradually covers the entire Amazon, if not stopped.
Logging is also a major cause of dryland in the Amazon. The local population relies on wood for the construction of small houses and generating heat. These actions do much harm to the forest, since the only raw material in small quantities. However, with large companies in mind, and with the strong demand for wood, the Amazon jungle, without doubt, would be depleted of its sources. The chances of recovery after an attack, therefore falls. In addition, the grazing of wild animals in forests can not adapt to change, leading to extinction. One false move in humans can cause enormous and dramatic changes on the environment.
The results of deforestation in the Amazon
The forest is home to many living creatures, but is also the source of many essential needs of man. If the vast lands of the Amazon forest disappears, the world will be deprived of a balanced ecosystem, causing disturbances on the following points: the houses of thousands of plants and animals will be destroyed, the global climate will change, human sources of food and medicines, will be terminated.
Humans will no longer be protected against disasters like floods, erosion and drought, the tribals are losing their habitat and, finally, it would be pleasant and natural forests to explore in
The future is really difficult to see and predict. It takes time to convince and lead people to change. Perhaps, with the steady increase in deforestation in the Amazon, it is not unlikely that the world falls apart with a snap.
Certainly, it is difficult to appreciate something while he is still there. Remember, regrets generally come later. So, even before the character cons-productive to us, we must strive to be leaders of change.
