Much of this has come at the expense of the country’s lush Interior Atlantic Forest region, where more than 90% of the population lives.

The jungle is mostly in Brazil, but it also spreads to eight neighboring countries in South America; Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guyana. (Webmaster, “Amazon Jungle facts and history in brief”) There are believed to be around 6,000 different species of trees just in the Brazilian region of the Amazon.

    Our world is growing and is causing a list of problems that include deforestation, shortage of resources and the lost of many nature species. People have the necessity to have a home, but they ask for lavish homes, which affect our environment for the sake of cutting trees. Henry David Thoreau living in a small cabin in the woods, and gave us the example that building simple houses helps avoid deforestation. By creating lavish homes people are increasing deforestation by making more land available for housing, when construction companies start to construct they cut all the trees that are invading the place where the house is going to stand. By creating homes near green land, settlers begin producing their own food and starts by cleaning the land to be able to start with agriculture.…

    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.…

    Deforestation is an issue we need to fix. I would like to spend 100,000 dollars on deforestation because some of the trees that are being cut down are thousands of years old. “Any fool can destroy trees”(John Muir, “The American Forests,” Atlantic Monthly, August, 1897) Above all this, one fact remains the same, we need trees to live. If we destroy all the trees in the world, we are left with harsh living conditions for ourselves. Our forests should be preserved if we want a better nation.…

    The Amazonian Rainforest consists of an expansive 350 million square acres smack in the middle of Brazil and many other countries. It is the largest rainforest in the world and is home to hundreds of indigenous species of plants and animals. However Brazil’s developing status is endangering the rainforests existence. It is currently reported that 500,000 trees are cut down every hour, and the country is losing anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 species a year. To many this is unacceptable and the amazon should be protected, others believe that operations should continue as is.

    In all rainforest regions in the world, deforestation has become a major problem. The rainforest is arguably the most complicated and largely interwoven ecosystem on land. However, this treasure is being lost and demolished day by day, the land being cleared away for the pure interest of money making, in the process of deforestation. Not only are thousands of species of organisms being driven to extinction, but we are also effectively eliminating any chance of studying many of the species. Also, deforestation has a major impact on the atmospheric balance of the world, and if it continues at the rate it is now, then soon the world's entire way of living will be forced to change, and not for the good. If the people of the world do not begin to be more contentious, then soon rainforests will become nothing more than a glorious legend of the past.…

    Trees are being cut down in the Rain Forest. People are also drilling holes in the ground to find oil and gas. “To do this, developers are building farms, roads, and factories in areas where rare plants and animals thrive.”(Read Works). This is a major problem. If these rare species go extinct, the biodiversity of the Amazon will change. Also, “as the plants and animals die, the indigenous peoples who depend on them for food will also suffer from hunger.”(Read Works). To drill holes, grow plants, build farms and factories, trees have to get cut down. If this keeps happening, the trees will be gone quicker than we know it.…
