Without trees to hold it in place, soil washes into the river and smothers fish,poor fish. ]]> 2018-12-11 16:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313493208 https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313493718 Amazon Threats: Amazon is facing a lot of tree loss or deforestation do to Ranching and Agriculture. Lot's of Poaching going on witch is hurting the animals that live there. Commercial Fishing has hurt the fish population a lot because of the mass amount of fish being taken out.  A lot of those fish don't even make it back before going bad. Damming has also been a huge problem. It has cause a lot  of trees to go an has flooded things. Finally Mining has been a problem. Chemicals are sometimes released into the river witch can harm all marine animals and life especially fish. Bio Piracy and smuggling is also a huge problem. That is when people take animals and go and sell them. That is illegal and they estimate about 20 billion dollars was used in illegal trade. ]]> 2018-12-11 16:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313493718 22tyler_mulligan https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313493767 The Amazon is facing deforestation which is bad for the animals habitats.

-ranching and agriculture- this is causing many animals to face losing their habitat.

-Commercial Fishing- because of this, fish and their population is decreasing.

-Bio piracy smuggling- This is causing many animals (including other types of amphibians,reptiles etc) to be brung over which cause harm to other non harmful wildlife animals.

-Damming-  because of damming the structure of land is being damaged in cause of damming.

-Logging- this is causing trees to be cut down and damaged to habitats of animals.

-Mining- fish die because of bad chemicals put into the water, this also causes land to have access to poachers and harmful people.

For one there's the ranching and agriculture. This is because they  are cutting down trees for cropping and farming. Another thing they face is commercial fishing. This is due to over- fishing. Furthermore there's Poaching. Poaching is from illegally hunting animals when they go extinct. Another thing is mining. People are mining and the minerals are washing in the water killing the fish this is also another reason fish are dying. These are only a few reasons  the Amazon's threats.

A couple of the biggest threats that endanger the Amazon Rain forest are:
Logging is a major issue because 232,000 miles have already been destroyed. Which means that a lot of plant and animal specie's habitats are gone. This is also considered deforestation. Another thing that is a threat to the Amazon is Poaching. This is really bad because people hunt animals illegally and also sell them illegally. ]]> 2018-12-11 16:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313499521 22presley_adams https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313499779 Ranching and Agriculture: Rain forest are getting cut down because they are making room for raising crops and cattle.

People take plants and animals out of the Amazon Rain forest then they are selling them for medicine and pets. ]]> 2018-12-11 17:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313499779 https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313501590 Some of the Amazon Threats are that most of the tree's are getting cut down because they need to cut it down to get money or to take for themselves.Since the trees are getting cut down most of the animals are getting extinct and there are 10 million animals that are going to die because of the all the nonsense that goes on with people. ]]> 2018-12-11 17:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313501590 22emma_shugars https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/313501807 -Commercial Fishing is a problem, because people are taking fish and letting it go bad also that is a main food source.
- Poaching, people are killing important animals to the ecosystem 
- Deforestation, cutting down trees can ruin it because it is a forest
- Lastly mining, that is because some things that get mined have dangerous chemicals

2-commercial fishing can also be a big threat to the environment because it is commercial lot of people coming there because there is good profit for the fish and this may cause pollution because people drive or fly there also tons of people fishing so if they catch something illegal like some thing they are not allowed to catch they may just through it back with the net still on it this may cause the animal to die
3- People take plants and animals from the Amazon to sell as pets, food, and medicine. this causes decline in animal population.
4-damming they are once again cutting down trees for room for big industrial dams. the dams are not all that important because when flooding they overflow.
5-Logging this is causing trees to be cut down and damaged to habitats of animals.
6- mining when mining miners dump harsh chemicals into the rivers and that causes fish and other animals that may drink out of it to die  ]]> 2018-12-12 20:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/314044470 https://padlet.com/stubergan/a2lg5brnbtpv/wish/322166059 Amazon Threats- One of the biggest threats is deforestation, because they are chopping down trees for money.  Animals are going extincted and endangered because of poaching.
