The Importance Of Amazon Rainforest
Amazon In Need
What do you think of when someone mentions the Amazon Rainforest to you? Some might say an exotic jungle full of some of the most unique plants and animals you have ever seen. Well this might surprise you but that exotic jungle you might be thinking of is getting cut down for multiple reasons at a shocking rate of 150 acres per hour. Well I’m personally here to say that cutting down this extraordinary gift of mother nature will in fact cause more harm than leaving it be. This not just being caused by the animals but the plants that use photosynthesis as well.
There is a towering amount of over 4,000 different types of species of plants in the rain forest. Each of them using photosynthesis to produce oxygen from carbon dioxide for us to breath. Now imagine just how hard it would be to breath ,with a giant amount of the plants gone not producing oxygen. Rain forest as a whole produce 20% of the world's oxygen, the Amazon by itself stores a huge amount of carbon itself. This being said cutting down the Amazon Rainforest would release the carbon in the form of carbon dioxide which would in fact harm the human race as whole. If you have not known already carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that when released in the air can make it not only hard for …show more content…
us to breath but also will expand the already rising amount of global warming.This all being said cutting down the Amazon won’t just hurt us but the world as a whole.
The Amazon itself holds about 10 million different species of animals of the world.
Now of this 10 million, 2,633 of those species are endangered so you can just imagine that number skyrocketing considering the fact that will the Amazon getting cut down many of the animals that live there will die from habitat lost.Not only that the few animals that do survive could cause harm to us by using human made structures such as businesses, homes, parks and other places to use as a new place to live. Scary isn't it, basically with all this being said the animal population as whole would decrease and you might actually have a few unwanted visitors using your home as a place to
live.
Researchers have found there to be thousand of plants located in the Amazon to be used for medical and food purposes. Now just imagine the large amount of deaths caused by Parkinson disease or malaria just because the medicine used to treat these disease couldn't be made because the Amazon was cut down. Not only that much of the food we eat comes from fruits and vegetables located in the Amazon so not only would we suffer from disease but also hunger.
This all being said we need the Amazon and cutting it down would cause more harm than leaving it be. The Amazon isn’t just a home to all the countless animals that survive in it but also a way for us to get the food and medicine for us to survive.We need the Amazon and cutting it down won't solve any of the major problems us humans face as a species today.
