Why is the rainforest being cut down?

Deforestation: the destruction of an ecosystem You are going to research and write a report on deforestation. You need to work alone to decide what is going to go into your report. You will need to collect information about the causes and effects of deforestation. The report should include two sections but you should also have an introduction that explains what is happening and a conclusion that sums up your findings and you own opinion. Section 1. Why is the rain forest being cut down? In this section you need to explain what the different pressures are on the rainforest. Who is cutting it down or allowing it to be cut down and why? Section 2. What are the effects of deforestation? In this section you need to explain how cutting down the rainforest is affecting the local area where the trees are cut down, the people of the area like the Tikuna people, the rest of Brazil and the world climate.

Effects of Deforestation

Deforestation: the destruction of an ecosystem. Mark Scheme Basic An introduction that describes what is happening in the Amazon Short simple statements describe give reasons why the rainforest is being cut down e.g. the trees are cut down to be sold for money Some clear effects of deforestation mainly focussed on the local area Good A balanced report that shows why the rainforest is being used and what the effects of this are. Developed points that use “so” to extend their explanations Evidence (graphs, maps, charts, photos etc.) are used (and written about) to make points and key terms are used correctly. A conclusion that says what you think should happen in the future. Excellent A well written report that discusses the causes and effects in detail with facts/data used as evidence Clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of deforestation for Amazonia, Brazil and the planet. Discussion of how sustainable the deforestation is and why. Evidence of additional research undertaken by the student.
