Blog Action Day: The Amazon in Trouble
This is the South American plate and this is where the Amazon is located. The forest is in danger right now from construction workers and other people too. This forest is inhabited many kinds of creatures that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. All of the creatures there are loosing their homes all because of the forests’ destruction. The main problem of deforestation is from humans and the human settlement. The forest lost more than twice the size of Portugal in forest size meter. All of the forest was turned into flatland for cattle to run. A fast fact is the forest lost most of the trees between the years 1991 and 2000. That is very sad. This was the largest forest and still is only by a little bit though. Some people are the native species living there are trying to protect this wonderous place. There are over 75,000 types of trees here. I think there should be a law saying you can only make a home in the forest not cut it down. What do you think?
