-Amazon Rainforest deforestation
A bit about the Amazon:
The amazon Rain forest is a vital
part of the Earths survival. It is
the largest remaining rain forest
left teeming with approx. 40000
plant species, 10% of the worlds
known species, home to around
2 & million insects, and also
home to around 400 tribes. It
also produces 20% of the Earths
oxygen, thats why its called
Lungs of the planet. But sadly
we are losing 200,000 acres of
the Rain forest every day.

present in 40 other different countries &
have been working together for 40
years. We do not accept any donations

Amazon Rain forest destruction
Why we need to protect the
Amazon:
We need to save the amazon
from the ongoing illegal logging,
cattle grazing, farming, road
building, hydroelectric dams,
and mining operations. The
consequences that the Amazon
suffers from because of the
destruction is: soil erosion,
water & air pollution, carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere, loss
of biodiversity by extinction of
animals and plants, global
warming increases, loss of tribes,
wide spread flooding, &
epidemics. All of that is
affecting the Earths survival,
and our own.
