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 …show more content…

    In his article titled “Disappearing Forests”, Doug Struck describes the cause and effect nature involving deforestation. According to Struck, loggers are clearing large portions of the Amazon and other South American rainforests for soybean farms and livestock ranches. He adds that a worldwide increase in demand for these resources is responsible for the clearing.

    He also shows that once this forest was industrialized, it was torn to bits in order to extract all of its marketable goods which in this case is the standing timber. By “harvesting” (Berry, 25) all of the lumber in the area, they have neglected to think of the forest and the long term needs that the forest could have provided. If they had cared for the forest’s long- term economy, the trees in the area would have been increasingly marketable at each logging (Berry, 29), thus helping not only the environment, but also our economy. When we focus on the environmental needs on an area, we tend to get better supplies to make our products with. This is because “the good health of part of the forest depends on the good health of the whole forest” (Berry, 34).…

    I should probably start this off by saying that I’m not the best person to be discussing this issue. I am writing from a position of privilege and have lived a lifestyle that benefits from the systematic oppression of people groups. And I didn’t even know it until last summer. I’d also like to place a disclaimer that many people of color are facing oppression and aggression, but, in this essay, I’ve chosen to focus on the black ones.…

    The Amazon Rainforest is being harmed in many different ways and Amazonians, Rubber tappers, Loggers, Settlers, Cattle Ranchers and the Environmental Groups, are trying to save it. My Interest Group I choose was The Rubber Tappers. I think the Rubber Tappers deserve to control the land because they are very beneficial to the rainforest and everyday resources because rubber tappers should be able to control the land because they're trying to save the trees from being illegally cut down, rubber tapper should be able to control the Amazon rainforest because they tap the sap without harming the trees,and rubber tapping is used to make products such as erasers, or tires for cars, and bikes My first sub-claim is Rubber Tappers should be able to…

    The video, “Trinkets and Beads,” illustrates a three-year struggle between a small Amazon tribe of 1500, Huaorani, and international oil companies. The video begins by mentioning the killings of American missionaries as well as the efforts of Rachel Saint to “civilize” and evangelize the indigenous people. Then, it moves on to discussing that approximately, 50 years ago oil was discovered in Ecuador and oil companies like Shell, Texaco and PetroCanada began drilling on the border of Huaorani territory. For roughly 20 years, the Huaorani had witnessed the impact of oil drilling on Cofan land. Many in the video stated that some indigenous people live by hunting and others by fishing; they were doing well in the past and they knew it was safe…

    Jose Padilla Debate and Speech Period 4 Ms. Douglass The meaning of Deforestation “is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses.” Permanent, millions of acres of rainforests permanently destroyed, and we can’t replace those millions of acres as fast as we destroy them.

    This issue often goes unnoticed because humans are so caught up in their everyday lives. Many people support only what is best for humans in their lifetime and don’t look at the bigger picture. People fail to consider how their actions affect not only plants and animals in their ecosystem, but future generations as well. Throughout the years we have harmed and destroyed forest ecosystems and everything that lives in them, so it is only fair that we do everything we can to help limit the amount of damage we deal to our forests and wildlife. Deforestation has been around since…
