Why should the world care? The Amazon rainforest is the lungs of the planet. The lungs produce 20% of our planet’s oxygen.
By burning trees, the rainforest loses its ability to store carbon and it also releases more carbon into the atmosphere.
Since the 1950s, the Amazon rainforest has lost more than 15 percent of its original forest cover, and up to 1/2 of the forest has been partially destroyed.
The rainforest contains 20 percent of the world’s flowing fresh water. It contains a third of all known terrestrial plants, animals and insects and it affects rain patterns across the world.
It takes nature many, many years to create the Amazon rainforest, but man can destroy it within decades. They call that Deforestation, which is man-made destruction.
Man is destroying the forest for greed. They do that by agriculture and cattle ranching, oil and gas production, mining and logging. There are around 400 billion trees across the Amazon, and more than 86 billion tons of carbon are stored in the forest, that’s a third worldwide.
