The biggest reason to save the rainforest is the effect deforestation has on local economies. Increased flooding, lack of quality water, and inability to produce their own food causes many locals migrate to cities that lack the infrastructure for them. Or sadly, the only way they can make money is to work on plantations, worsening the deforestation problem and at times being subjected to inhumane dangerous working conditions.

Trees also play a critical role in absorbing the greenhouse gases that fuel global warming. Fewer forests means larger amounts of greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere—and increased speed and severity of global warming.

Deforestation drives climate change.  Removing trees deprives the forest of portions of its canopy, which blocks the sun’s rays during the day and holds in heat at night. This disruption leads to more extreme temperatures swings that can be harmful to plants and animals.

Most of our foods come out of the Amazon like , bananas , pineapples , nuts , coffee beans and many more. If deforestation contiunes at the current rate of 46-58 thousand square miles of forest each year—equivalent to 36 football fields every minute - then we could be in danger of cutting off a significant percentage of our food supply.

The rainforest helps to regulate the worlds water cycle. Trees play an important part in the water cycle, grounding the water in their roots and releasing it into the atmosphere. In the Amazon, more than half the water in the ecosystem is held within the plants. Without the plants, the climate may become dryer and growing food could become impossible for many.

Over a quarter of the medicines we use today have their origins in the rainforests – and that’s after only about 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medicinal properties! Imagine what else could be there? It’s not crazy to think that our best chance of curing the diseases, such as Malaria and HIV, that plague our world, could lie within the rainforest...

Farmers burn the rainforest to plant crops, and the crops grow well for the first few years, but soon the soil looses its nutrients and is no longer good for crops so the farmers need to cut more rainforest to plant new crops. Burning the forest releases carbon, which causes changes in wind currents and rainfall around the world.
