Everyday people walking through life watching insects buzz, birds fly, and trees blow in the wind, not thinking about how special each one of these events taking place actually are. Mindlessly ignoring the surrounding area of the actions happening they maybe annoying but they are key for the survival of life. The effects of the human race are playing a crucial part in the survival of the entire planet actions should be taken to ensure the survival of the ecosystem. deforestation the complete removal of a forest ecosystem and conversion of the land to another type of landscape.

The world's forest area totals just over 10 billion acres or 31 percent of the total land area. Sadly Worldwide, the net loss of forests amounted to 13 million acres which may not even matter to the majority of people totaling an amount of land roughly equivalent in size to the Central American country of Costa Rica.If only people knew about the extent of just how drastically forest coverage has decreased. Most deforestation occurred in South America, with a predominant amount of the continent's deforestation occurring in the Amazon basin, on e of the most diverse and unique ecosystem on the planet. Forest management, conservation, and preservation efforts have helped global deforestation decline from a peak in the 1990s of 20.75 million …show more content…
The INPE identified 2004 as the peak year for forestland loss in Brazil at a loss of 10,588 square miles. Also the INFP found that from August 2011 to July 2012, the country lost 1,765 square miles of Amazon forests. However, the rate of loss increased the following year, with the deforestation of 2,256 square miles of rainforest between August 2012 and July 2013. The declining deforestation rate in Brazil since 2004 was driven by a combination of stricter environmental regulation and a reduction in global demand for forest products during the global economic downturn that began in 2008. Forest monitoring, increased law enforcement, and periods of decreased demand for timber led to an 84 percent reduction in Amazon deforestation since 2005. Environmental officials in Brazil announced in mid-2013 that Amazon rainforest loss had reached its lowest level in the twenty-five years since forest-loss monitoring began. Nonetheless in different parts of the world deforestation has dramatically increased, At rates of 29 percent in the Amazonas and 33 percent in the
