1 Rainforest By Angus Baker Baker and Andrew Consett

2 Pro’s ☼Acai which is an Amazon fruit has more vitamin C than any other citric fruit ☼If we chop the wood down we can become a MEDC and we replant the tree’s ☼Only in the passed 150 years have we tampered with the rainforest were as other counties have tampered with there environment.

3 Pro’s  $6,820 per year is made from the rainforest. You may think that this is from the chopping down of the trees, but the way is not by killing them but only by taking the products of the trees. E.g. Bananas form the banana tree or the latex from a rubber tree.  $148 is used for cattle pasture! IT ALL ADDS UP

4 Con’s In the 1850’s 80% o of the state of sao Paulo was covered with forest. By the 1970 with rise of coffee growing, there was less than 8% natural forest left. 6-9 million indigenous people inhabited the Brazilian rainforest in 1500’s. Now less than 200,000 people live there this is because of the chopping.

5 Con’s What would you rather do? Live in the shanty towns where it is hard to live peacefully, or would you like to live in the city where you can get jobs and live much much easier.

6 Pictures of the rain forest! Satellite View! Dead shrub layer!The whole rainforest in view!!!

7 Our reason why we should? We are letting people chop down the rain forest because they buy us a lot of money and we can become an MEDC Some where we can but the poor farmers so they can grow crop to feed are country.
