Rainforest Summary 2
Comments: 1
Many forests are being cut down rapidly animals are loosing their
habitat. Population of ranches are lowering the percent of rain
forests. In 2004, 10,000 miles were cut down in Brazil. An indian
tribe called the Yanomamis are now in danger. When gold was discovered
in the rain forest many miners came pouring in and when the miners came,
they had brought different diseases. Miners can't mine in-between
trees so they cut down the rain forest and now only 36,000 miles or less
of the Yanomami tribe still exists. Many people are trying to help
this tribe regain their life in the rain forest.
Forests in Brazil are now shrinking! 20% of the Amazon forest were cut down. Then there was a free spot for anyone. Farmers need extra room for their cattle to graze. Part of the forest had already vanished.
When roads are built near forests logger would need the extra wood. Mahogany is an important tree that is being cut down and sent to the United States Then soy plants were discovered and even more. Forests were massively cut down. Then logging became illegal in that country.
The government of Brazil wanted to save their forest so they became involved. The government is trying as hard as they can to save the rain forest. The goverment started to set up parks were trees couldn't be cut down. There is still a lot more forest to save.
