Native Amazonians Should Be Able To Live In The Rainforest
The Native Amazonians should be able to use the Rainforest however they want to. They have lived in the Rainforest for about 12,000 years now. How would you feel if someone came to your house and say that you can’t live there anymore? That’s exactly how they feel. They know how to hunt and fish to feed their families. Native Amazonians also know which plants and crops that they can grow in the rainforest to be able to survive. Native Amazonians should be able to continue their way of life and keep their traditions and cultures alive.
Native Amazonians have lived in the Rainforest for about 12,000 years now. Different families live in different places of the forest. Some of them live near the river and some live farther from the rivers. They know how to survive by making their own weapons and using it to hunt for animals and for fishing. They also know how to plant crops and plants for them to use as medicine and food. Years ago there were about 10 million Native Amazonians living in the Rainforest. Today the number has decreased. The government of Brazil decide to open the Amazon basin in 1960 and decided to build a

One thing that they use the forest for is for shelter. They build their own houses and villages out of the items that they can find in the Rainforest. Another reason is that they use the Rainforest for its resources. They use the land for planting crops such as beans and corns. They use the river for water and they also fish in the river. Lastly, people from other parts of the world can get a good benefit from the Amazonians. The Amazonians speak a different language so others can learn that language if they want to. They also have different cultures so they can teach others about their culture or other people can learn about their cultures. This is one way that they can keep their traditions and cultures alive. The Rainforest can impact the Native Amazonians in a good

    The truth of this though is that we as humans are trying to industrialize and develop the Amazon more and more every day for our own purposes. We are deforesting the forest; also known as deforestation. Since 1980 more than 580,000 square kilometers (224,000 square miles) of the Amazon forest has been destroyed due to deforestation.

    A tropical rainforest is an ecosystem that occurs roughly within 28 degrees north or south of the equator (equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). They are characterised by their humidity (average of 88% in the rainy season and 77% in the dry season), hot temperature (average 27.9 °C during the dry season and 25.8 °C during the rainy season) but more importantly their extremely high rainfall (torrential rainfall - between 1,500 mm and 3,000 mm annually). Tropical rainforests contain the most diverse range and highest volume of plant and animal life found anywhere on the Earth, however, they are amongst the most threatened ecosystem globally due to the large scale fragmentation due to human activity and expansion – 16% of the Earth’s surface was once covered by tropical rainforest, yet the figure has significantly dropped to approximately 6% with no optimism of it increasing again. In this essay I will focus on the Amazon Rainforest, it is 2 times the size of India harbouring 10% of the world’s known species and is home to 350 ethnic groups.…

    Many species of animals live in the Amazon Rain Forest. The rain forest itself, covering nearly 40 percent of South America, contains one in every ten species known on earth (“World’s” 1). Around 500 species of mammals, 475 reptiles, and one third of the world’s birds live in the Amazon. Although they all live in the same general area, animals have different habitats, diets, and life spans. A few of the many animals are the Scarlet macaw, Anaconda, Giant Amazon River Turtle, and the Howler Monkey.…

    The Amazon Rainforest, located in the northern part of South America, is the largest rainforest on Earth, containing more than 60% of Earth’s fresh water, over 20% of oxygen on Earth, and huge amounts of carbon dioxide (ACEER). However, the Amazon Rainforest has been deforested principally in order to provide land for the locals who were homeless due to poverty, overpopulation, and government policies. Also, economic reasons such as providing land for cattle ranches, agriculture, logging, and mining (Maczulak) increased the rate of deforestation. In fact, since 1988, over 141,470 square miles of the Amazon Rainforest have been deforested (INPE). The imprudent use of the resources and land of the Amazon Rainforest is destroying the…

    Human beings have exploited the tropical rainforests for many years now for their abundance of resources and their biodiversity. The moist exploited is the Amazon rainforest which has already lost 20% of its area forever. Deforestation is the single biggest threat to the rainforest; the prime cause of it is cattle ranching. This is when land is cleared to provide space for cattle ranchers to herd their livestock to help increase beef production. This activity accounts for 60% of deforestation in Brazil, which is having a major effect on the biodiversity of the ecosystem. The impacts of deforestation are wide. In the Amazon there have been problems with increased forest fires, soil erosion and decreased biodiversity, caused by habitat loss. Subsistence farming is another factor…

    They would harvest trees for wood so they could be able to make furnitures and paper mills. The most valuable hardwoods are mahogany and rosewood. The logging companies choose to cut down trees in the Amazon Rainforest because hardwoods are very hard to find and most are in the Amazon Rainforest. Also, there’s so much woods that they need from the forest in order to create the furnitures. Clearing the trees could also help provide clear areas for new housing and villages. Cutting down trees can benefit the world because there is access to other natural resources within the forest. In some rainforest there are iron ore, mineral, or even oil, which can be used for man’s…

    A significant party in all of this are the native Amazonians whose way of life is threatened with every felled tree. “Our ancestors taught us to understand the land and animals. We have used this knowledge carefully, for our existence depends on it’ (Doc 7). This is a view of the future of Brazil because the natives are very much representative of the current population and how their need and use of the rainforest is leading them to an eventual downfall. As well as a need to sutain way of life the people of Brazil also need a way to sustain themselves, sustainably developing the rainforest could lead to improved infrastructure such creating “...schools and hospitals...new roads and airports” (Doc 9). Each of these could improve their lives because more schools equals better education, hospitals better medical care, new roads more easy local transportation, and new airports could help improve the region's tourism. however it is unlikely that any of this can occur without the sustainable development of the…
