In recent years the Amazon forest,
located in the northern region of South America, is being severely damaged.
Many loggers are in search of raw material for making furniture, paper and
charcoal. There are also many farmers who are in search of new areas for
breeding and planting. Currently, there is serious concern about the situation
of the forest: the reduction of the forest area and the loss of oxygen
influence on the local climate, affecting the water cycle, without forgetting
the issuance of oxygen will decrease.
Between 1991 and 2011 the area has
greatly increased deforestation and now has about 800,000 km ². Since 2004, the
pace has been decreasing, reaching a record high of minimal. The deliberate
fires are the main causes of deforestation, but the cut is also present.
The deforestation affects local
biodiversity. The animals are left without their habitat. Many species are
becoming extinct every year, animals and plants. Do not forget that most of the
planet's fresh water is there. With fewer trees, water cycle is affected,
thereby decreasing the amount of water present. The Amazon is one of the largest
oxygen responsible for control of the planet. Less trees, less air.
Currently the government has serious
oversight, but there's still plenty to do. Gradually, deforestation is reduced,
and people will be more aware about their own life.
