Summary Part #2.
Concerned people are fighting against the loss of the Amazon rain forest. In the 1960s, poor families began settling in the Rain Forest. This brought in many roads, sawmills, and loggers. In 1991, the Yanomami received 36,000 square miles of land from the Brazilian government. In the year 2004 alone, almost 10,000 square miles of the rain forest had already been cut down. Over the years, experts say that about twenty percent of the Amazon rain forest has been destroyed. Soy farming is making things in Brazil even worse then before. When soy farming, the land gets cleared out, and destroys even more land. The Amazon Region Protected Area, (ARPA) and the WWF are helping to protect the rain forest. Together, they are now protecting twelve percent of this land, which is about the size of California.
