People Destroying The Amazon Rainforest

People destroy the Amazon rainforest Tropical rainforests are found in a hot and humid climate that spans most of the land between the tropical rainforest and Capricorn. Generally, the rainforest accounts for about 7% of the earth's land. This is equivalent to the area of ​​the same land in the United States.

It took nature for millions of years to make Amazon's tropical rainforest, but it took several generations to destroy it. When the modern state of South America emerged, we began to enter the forest. Since the 1950s, the Amazon rainforest completely lost 18% of the original forest area, and up to 50% of the forest was partially destroyed. This is mainly due to the following reasons. The Amazon rainforest is a vulnerable ecosystem that fully depends on its full size to survive. We do not know how long people can continue to destroy this tropical rainforest before we reach a bad turning point.

The Amazon rainforest is one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Scientists cataloged about 16,000 different tree species in the Amazon region. But despite this amazing level of diversity, researchers discovered that about 227 'dominant' species constitute nearly half of the rainforest. Only 4% of the trees make up 50% of the trees of the Amazon. Imagine that two plants are growing side by side. They compete the sun and the earth everyday. If a plant can grow faster than other plants, it will grow higher, capture more sunlight, and absorb more rain. The next day, this extra energy will make plants grow more. This pattern continues until a powerful plant squeezes out the other plants and captures the majority of sunlight, soil and nutrients.
