Amazon Rain Forrest Research Paper

Decent Essays
The world is such a big and beautiful place, with so much to see and do. If I could go anywhere, regardless of money, I would travel out of the country. Visiting other countries and seeing different cultures and the landscapes, would be neat. There are so many places to choose, but if I had to pick one I would go to Brazil to visit the Amazon Rain Forrest, because the Amazon is home to the biggest and most beautiful jungle in the world. The Amazon is one of the biggest jungles on earth and is home to millions of rare animals. It is said that 30% of the world’s species of animals are found in the Amazon. One of the Amazon’s most popular animals are monkeys. There are so many species of monkeys in the Amazon, that scientist have yet to discover.

    If the name Headwaters Forest Preserve does not ring a bell, you might recall Julia Butterfly Hill, who spent 738 days between 12/10/1997 and 12/18/1999 in the tree affectionately known as "Luna," to prevent Pacific Lumber Company loggers from cutting it down. Pacific Lumber had been bought by Maxxam Corp., and they were clear cutting everything in sight to pay off the bonds they sold to buy this forest. Pacific Lumber, which had been doing sustainable logging for generations, suddenly became an environmental villain due to the hostile takeover. Senator Dianne Feinstein helped put together $380 million in state and federal money to purchase Headwaters, a pristine old growth redwood forest, within the Pacific Lumber lands, east of Eureka.…

    Yamashita illustrates the forest by saying, “...the Amazon Forest was a great decaying hothouse where all sustenance was sucked up immediately by the voracious flora and fauna, leaving nothing for the poor soil” (99). The Amazon Forest, the home to epiphytes, spiders, alligators, birds, monkeys, and millions of other species, is functioning in a cycle of life and death. Native plants and animals feed off of the fatality of others through the recycling of nutrients.
