The Amazon Rainforest The tropical Amazon Rainforest covers most of Northwestern Brazil, and extends into Bolivia, Peru, and many other South American countries. It is the world’s largest tropical rainforest and contains at least 10% of the world’s known biodiversity. Over the last 500 years, the Amazon has lost almost 20% of its forest cover, leading to waves of resource exploitation for many species residing there. The rainforest contains 90-140 billion metric tons of carbon and helps to…

Sea-Level Rise is a consequence of the global climate change causing a general shoreline retreat and an increased flooding (Mangor 2004).

Biodiversity is Threatened The animals that live in the rainforests and forests are dependant on the many different species that live there. They are also dependant on the trees and plants that grow in their areas. When deforestation happens, it tears away the plants and trees, which in turn, chases away or kills the animals living there. As the habitat is ripped away, the original species living there struggle to live while other species could move in and take over the rest of the land, killing…

Saving the Rainforest Work On Intro There are many rainforests in the world and they have a large effect on the ecosystem. But many people are using the rainforests and the logs as fuel and for money.
