Deforestation of the Amazon

Forest destruction in Brazil has become a global problem for decades. In the Amazon rainforest, lumbers, ranchers, farmers cut down many miles of trees. This has been happening since the 1970s, "Eagerly trying to get money and land, a lot of miners and settlers flooded the Brazilian Amazon rainforest" (Brown). The tropical rainforest has billions of trees that produce oxygen and is known as the world's lung to absorb carbon dioxide produced by factories and pollution.

As a result, deforestation in the Amazon region is increasing again. According to data released by the Brazilian government last August from 2017 to July this year, forest destruction of the Amazon has increased nearly 14%. This is the world's largest tropical rain forest in the world's largest range of Amazon forests in ten years. Mr. Guy Edwards, a Latin American expert, co-director of Brown University Climate Development Institute, said that it is not advisable for Brazil to decide to withdraw from the economic conditions of the Summit.

In the 1990s, people were very concerned about Amazon's deforestation. According to the NASA Observatory, the Rhondian region in the western part of Brazil has become one of the most serious deforestation areas in the Amazon. The vegetation initially covers a land of 208,000 square kilometers, almost comparable to that of Kansas State. By 2003, however, forests had an area of ​​more than 140,000 square kilometers, or overall vegetation declined by 32.5%. Another recent example is that Brazil's deforestation rate has increased by 30% in recent months. The impact of wildlife loss and global warming is shocking

Over the past decade, the rate of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest has fallen dramatically. In 2004, at the peak of deforestation, Amazon's tropical rainforests of up to 27,400 square kilometers were cut down within a year. This is almost the same as Massachusetts State. By 2014 the deforestation rate in the Amazon region has declined to 4,800 square kilometers of forest annually. This is about a sixth of the peak in 2004. According to current policy, desire to reduce Amazon deforestation to zero in the next ten years

The goal of Colombia is to achieve a net deforestation rate of zero in the Amazon region by 2020 and to end all deforestation by 2030. However, large-scale deforestation is taking place. In 2016, the country 's deforestation rate increased by 44% compared to the previous year or nearly 179,000 hectares of forest was lost. We saw success now. In our project in the Kakta area where the country 's 52 - year armed conflict is prevalent, some farmers have adopted Silva Pasture.
