1. Amazon Rainforest By Mitchell Connolly

2. Amazon rainforest The Amazon rainforest is in south America. It covers 5,500,000 kilometers out of 7,000,000 kilometers of land. The 5,500,000 Km belongs to nine different regions.

3. Deforestation When parts of the Amazon are lost that land can never be remade to its full potential no trees can be re-grown again.

4. Deforestation damages With in 1991-2000 the amazon rainforest had lost a total of 415,000-587,000 km of land, just so more houses can be made for people to live/survive in.

5. Human Impact Do to the human impact on the Amazon we have lost 54 billion tons of carbon from one rainforest. (Amazon) With less carbon in the air it doesn’t help prevent global warming and it ruins the environmental impact of the Amazon.

6. Reasons for deforestation deforestation could happen for many reason but the main reason are Commodity, Pasture, Plantations of commodities, Human settlement.

7. Why trees matter Rainforests are the main resting place for 50%-90% of all organisms. Most animals need the richness of the rainforest to survive. A quarter of are worlds medication comes from trees. The roots of the trees help prevent natural disasters like flooding and landsides.

8. Prevention All though in rainforests planting trees after cutting them down doesn’t help the land but in other areas one tree can help a lot. After a large or small amount of trees are cut down plant one in return.
