The Destruction of the Amazon Rainforest:
The rain forest is being choped down.The rain forest is very important to people and animals.Did you know that every meal that you get at a fast food resterant you are hepling tare down the rain forest. They are taring down the rain forest because they need more land to suposivly have more housing land and buisness too.They are tairing 25% of acers ,a total of nerly 12 millon acers (4 millon hectares).This is all happening because of the goverment of South America.But in Brazil the goverment is trying to save the rain forest befor its gone.This impacts on the people that live in or by the rain forest because they probly like the beautiful sight and the animals that live in the rain forest. And when the people tare down the rain forest it takes homes away from the animals so they go home less and aventuly die because they dont have any food from were they use to live.And the plants will die because they will be killed from all the construction.
Efforts to Conserve The Amazon Rainforest:In the rian forest people are tareing down it. Animals are loseing there homes because of the people are takeing there homes away from them so that means that they might die because they will not have any food or homes to live in.Preserving the rain forest is not easy because there are animals that live there that could eat them or other things .What people can do to prevent that is to vote not to do it or not eat at a fast food resterant because every meal that you eat there you are paying to help tare down the rain forest.
