| The
Destruction of the Amazon Rainforest: |
| Over
200,000 acres of the rainforest is burned every day. That's over 150
acres burned every minute! Part of the reason the forest is being
destroyed is that people get profits from harvesting the unsustainable
resources. And the forest is so dry sometimes, that a fire just starts
up. Humans and the governments are responsible for most of the
destruction, but some destruction is just caused by nature. The
destruction has an impact on humans because we need certain plants and
animals to make medicines for the sick. Animals are affected by this
because they lose their homes and their food sources. They could even
become extinct! The destruction has affected the plants because a lot of
the plants are becoming extinct. |
| Efforts
to Conserve The Amazon Rainforest: |
| The conservation has, still
is, and will always have rangers watching over the forests to try to
keep it from harm. People also plan to protect and purchase forty
million acres by 2020. It isn't a very simple matter because you can't
possibly watch every section of the forest to be sure it's ok. Some of
the issues that the conservationists face are that they know when fires,
they have to help control it until other help comes. |
