Large forest fires destroying over 200,000km2 of forest. Increased erosion on unprotected soils. Heavy leaching causing lack of regeneration.

# data[].attributes.body
Forests are being burned at accelerating rates.
Biodiversity is lost in terms of 1500 flowering plant species, 750 tree species, 400 bird species and thousands of insects species.
Lack of soil and humus protection as as nutrients are exiting from the soil to a dramatic extent which leaves it infertile.
Pollution of rivers by mining as forest cover and topsoil has been unsuccessful as well as unsustainable.

Deforestation disrupts different animal species and causes them to be displaced or die out. Clearing for industry, and farmland an example in Palm Oil plantations, in Indonesia, where Orangutan species are reaching low.

High rainfall causes erosion and leaching to occur at a quicker rate

By burning to clear forest, it causes atmospheric pollution in these areas, when smoke is released it also emits greenhouse gases like co2 (Carbon Dioxide) which can relate to smog and global warming. Like when you visit countries like Malaysia and Philippines (equatorial countries) the air feels thicker than in NZ.

What is ecotourism and how has is developed?

Ecotourism is tourism specializing in forest environments and varied scenery. It has developed by the Brazilian government by it's identifying of national parks and the construction of hotels and eco-lodges and boat tours.

Tourists from 1st world countries visit native areas like the Amazon to experience different traditions and cultures and look at the scenery

More economically developed countries such as America and Germany visiting the less economically developed countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.

Deforestation also breaks the Humus cycle, through decreasing the amount of leaves and branches that create fertility within the soil. This influences the leaching of nutrients with leaving the soil more vulnerable leaving the soil more infertile.

Tourists from countries, such as America and Germany, are visiting wilderness regions such as the Amazon Rainforest. This is so they can see the different scenery as well as vegetation and wildlife.

# data[].attributes.body
Ecotourism, the visitation of tourists to the Amazon to admire the landscape and wildlife. Is considered a sustainable use of the land with little development, through educating the public with positive interactions between people and the environment
