Presentation transcript:

Deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest Largest Environmental Concern Deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon area Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. Extraction of natural resources Humans are removing trees for livestock (ranching), logging, rubber tapping, and agriculture (= $$)

Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest Causes Money!! Brazilians cut down trees to use land Some are sold, but most are not (= burned!) Land is then used for cattle ranching, agriculture, and logging industries

Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest Effects Less world oxygen Global warming Loss of homes/ habitats Extinct plants and animals

Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest Solutions Government laws of where and how much land can be taken (QUOTAS)*** Other jobs and skill training to give natives other job options Global information and awareness campaigns

Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest Real-Life Situations: Pollution levels are rising due to so much burning… = lowered health of citizens Animals (like sloths) are being found in cities because their homes have been taken. These wild animals do not know how to interact with humans (and vise versa) and this causes violence/ injury when either feels threatened.
