The Disappearing Rainforests

It is a very important global issue to protect tropical rainforests that the tropical rainforest disappears. Tropical rainforests provide animal habitats, provide plants with their own ecosystems, and provide abundant resources to humans, but they are destroyed at an alarming rate. Experts predict that such an endangered region will continue to consume like this, and in 40 years there will be no more places (tropical rainforest). Examining the society that continues to destroy the earth 's rainforest, the environmental and economic costs will prove that deforestation of short - term benefits is ultimately unfeasible.

The rain forest disappears as quickly as ever. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that the tropical rainforest disappeared at a rate of 114,000 square kilometers per year in 1980 (Colchester and Lohmann, 1). Recent studies have shown that this number has increased dramatically. According to a survey conducted by Friends for Earth, in 1989 "142,000 square kilometers of rainforest was destroyed and a further 200,000 square kilometers of tropical rain forest deteriorated severely" (Colchester and Lohmann, 1, 2).

Today, the rainforest disappears from the surface of the earth. Despite rising concern in the international community, tropical rainforests are still destroyed at a rate of over 80,000 acres (32,000 hectares) per day. It occupies an area of ​​2 billion hectares (7.7 million square miles) and is about the same size as USA and China, accounting for about 13% of the world's land. Most of the rest of the area is affected by human activities and it no longer holds its original biodiversity.

According to the current deforestation rate, the world's rain forest is estimated to disappear within 100 years. The Amazon rainforest is thought to be the lung of the earth, but it also applies to all forests. In addition to absorbing carbon dioxide and broadening the water circulation, trees are interdependent with millions of different species. How do we eliminate the impact of tropical rainforests on the biosphere on a global scale? When will humans begin to endanger themselves?

The tropical rain forest covers 2% of the surface of the earth, but the life of the rainforest occupies half of the earth's land area and produces 20% of oxygen. However, they are disappearing at an alarming rate. Forest destruction of up to 90% of the tropical rainforest is illegal and has serious damage to the life of animals and plants, where the rainforest lives. As the rancher turns the land into livestock, one of the key drivers is agriculture. Unfortunately, deforestation is difficult to find and about one-fifth of Amazon's rainforest has disappeared in the past 50 years.
