Amazon Rainforest Research Paper
The Amazon Rainforest is located in Brazil. It is famous for it’s Amazon River, which is the second largest river in the world behind the Nile River. But the main point about this essay is deforestation. Right at this moment the Amazon Rainforest is losing lots of things like it’s fine trees and the wildlife because group of people are making their living using the resources of the Amazon. I will talk about six groups in the Amazon Rainforest. Their names are Native Amazonians, Rubber Tappers, Loggers, Settlers, Cattle Ranchers, and Environmental Group. The first group’s that I will talk about are the groups that is causing the deforestation in the Amazon. These three group are called Loggers, Settlers, and Cattle Ranchers. The Loggers are using the Amazon Rainforest for its wood. They take it for lumber to build homes and paper for the schools. The Amazon Basin / Rainforest is the Largest Rainforest in the world. The Settlers are using the Amazon to make a better life for the poor to help make wealth and grow crops and build a

farm. There using the forest to build farm land. Last the Cattle Ranchers are using the Rainforest for the grass so there animals can keep living. In 2008, beef sales in Brazil earn over $3,000,000,000 to help pay off debt to the government. They think that if they keep doing what their doing, they can help pay off all of the debt. The last group’s that I will tell you about are wanting to help the Amazon Rainforest and start Reforestation. There called Native Amazonians, Rubber Tappers, and Environmental Group. The Native Amazonians are here to help rebuild the forest to back to when there was no land being taken out. The Rubber Tappers are taking the little parts of the trees and making rubber for tires for your cars ,trucks, motor vehicles. Last the Environmental Group wants to used the plants and trees taking little as possible to make medicine and help cure people around the world, also making money for the Brazilian Government. This group want to also use the rainforest but only take little as possible and reforestation happen so when we have nothing of a plant left in the forest now, we have the new part of the forest to use the little resources as possible. My plan is that all of the six group can be happy and us the resources and all be happy.
The Loggers can use wood not in the rainforest. They can use wood that is on the outside of the Amazon Rainforest and make wood from trees somewhere else. The Settlers can use land outside of the rainforest for farmland and not have the trees in the rainforest being cut down for farmland. The Cattle Ranchers can go other places in Brazil that is covered with grass and use that grass and feed their animals and still make money for the Brazilian Government. The Native Amazonians can keep protecting the Amazon Rainforest and keep peace with the other group. The Rubber Tapper’s can still take the rubber from the trees but take little as possible. And finally, the Environmental Group can use the things from the plants and the trees to make cures for patients around the world and find cures for disease for things that haven’t even been found on earth
today. My Purpose for this is that, all these groups can bring peace to one another and slowly start reforestation in the largest tropical rainforest in the world. I have read all the little section of TCI and it make me want to do something even though I live in a different country and don’t have a major team with me because we are only human and one human can’t do it all by him or herself. If someone start a foundation or a place where you can sign up and help start the reforestation in the Amazon. There are animals that haven’t probably been discovered, and we need to do whatever we can to help by sent seeds for trees or hands to help put the trees in the ground because if we don’t start soon, the Amazon with either start gaining forest or they will start losing forest. The Amazon bring lots of tourists and they pay to see the forest. If they don’t have a rainforest to see, then they will be happy to spend their money elsewhere. They want to see that forest healthy and want to see what goes on in the forest with destroying it. Everyone has a good side and everyone can help, if they just sit on the couch and watch as this terrible thing happens, they will not do anything. So I say, please help the Amazon Rainforest and restore it to it’s former self. Some more research that I did was, the Amazon rivers is made of a mosaic of ecosystems and vegetation types. You can find over 20 species of stingrays. Even though the mouth of the Amazon River is the saltwater Atlantic Ocean, the river itself is freshwater. It said that the Amazon was once a lake, during the Ice Age, the sea levels dropped during the lake into a river. It is said that it's the largest in discharge and second in the world in length. Research also say that its is eleven times the size of the United States largest river, the Mississippi River. Its daily freshwater discharge into the Atlantic is enough to supply New York City's freshwater needs for nine years. The Amazon freshwater can travel up to 125 miles before its freshwater turns into saltwater. Its has 1.4 billion acres of dense forest, half of the planet's remaining forest. The Amazon Basin is 2.6 million square miles and that take up 40% of South America. The Amazon Rainforest contain 90-140 metric tons of carbon dioxide. It homes over 2 and a half billion insect species and over 40,000 plant species. There are many dangerous animals that make their home here in the Amazon like the cougar, jaguar, and the anaconda. 10% of the world's known species live in the Amazon and 20% of the world's known birds live in the Amazon. In the past 40 years, 20% of the Amazon Rainforest will have been chopped down and used. It covers over 5.5 million square miles, so big that the United Kingdom and Ireland can go into it 17 times. In 2007, a man named Martin Strel, swam the entire Amazon River. It took him 66 days to complete his journey. My conclusion is that all group can leave the forest alone and the group for reforestation can do what they need to do to get the rainforest. That all group that cause deforestation can go elsewhere and the reforestation. Everyone can help the Amazon but they can do anything with more people helping out. We all have our likes and our differences, but we all have a good side. The Amazon is in trouble and we need to do something. We all can help, do your part.
