| 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. |
