Case Study: Amazon Rainforest

The Amazonians should have control over the whole Amazon Rainforest because the Native’s were there before everyone else and they do more help than harm. The Amazonians should be able to control the land because people in the Amazon that aren’t Amazonian clear the land and making highways. The Amazonians should be able to control the land because the more trees being cut down the Native Amazonians are losing their land and the trees. The Amazonians should be able to control the land because The more land that is being cleared the more wild animals are getting aggressive and hurting random people for the sake of their territory being taken away. Although the loggers are cutting down illegal trees and selling them, the NAtives are trying to stop them and reclaim their land because the native amazonians are were there first, and they aren’t harming the forest at all. The native are doing no harm because the forest provides the natives with shelter, protection, and nutrition. Another reason the amazonians are in need of their land back is because the amazonians lived there for 12,000 years. For example the ”Logging companies argue that clear-cutting is the only way they can make money. But clear-cutting is also a major cause of deforestation. The larger the area that is stripped of its trees, the longer it takes for the rainforest to grow back. In 2005, Brazil exported more than $5 billion worth of wood.” The loggers are clearing the rainforest for highways and and to make money for the lumber. The way that the forest is being cut makes the forest trees not grow not longer which is hurting the forest in multiple different ways. Ways such as the land is being taken away from the Native’s and different type of animals habitat. For instance this wouldn’t have happened if the other people besides the native amazonians would just leave. To illustrate the scene“The forests are cleared for more and more cattle grazing pasture and cropland. Cattle pastures occupy 80 percent of deforested areas in the Amazon. Pasture runoff contaminants rivers. Fire used to manage fields often spreads into the remaining forests.” The cattle are eating the grass to nothing and they keep doing it everyday. …show more content…
Here’s another reason why the the Cattlers shouldn’t be in the forests before the cows start to eat the people light a fire that usually goes off in the the rest of the forest that should be unscaved. The cattle are destroying the forests plus the rivers are being contaminated also. Cattle are eating the grass all the way down to a nub, and the cattle take up 80% of the deforested areas. Basically the forest is being leveled by the cattle. “Illegal loggers send teams into the forest to identify these trees, and then they come in stealthily later and cut them down. The forest is thinned of its biodiversity, picked apart tree by tree. What's worse, the illegal logging gangs take the seed-bearing trees, what the rubber tappers call the "mothers of the forest." The law is that you can’t cut the Seed-Bearing Trees down because the trees provide hundreds of gallons of water a day to transpiration on a hot day. But the Loggers don’t care and they quietly cut the trees down, and this starts the deforestation. The evidence that was provided is alike because it all talks about how the forest is being cleared and what ways it is being cleared in. Here are three ways that is provided in the evidence that talks about how the Rainforest is being cleared. One way of the forest is being cleared is the use of the loggers cutting the trees down and selling $5 million dollars worth of wood. The second way the forest is being demolished is that the cattle is eating the grass all the way down to a nub. Cattle is occupying 80 percent of the Amazon just eating …show more content…
That is why I believe that the people that were there before hand should keep all of their and go back to the way it used to be, and just live the their l most perfect
