This has been going on since 1978. Recently, most of the deforestation has been caused by industrial activities. Between 15 and 17 percent of the rainforest has already been destroyed. It threatens the biodiversity in the forest. This tragic event is putting many animals and other wildlife in danger.]]> 2020-10-04 18:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801096581 mateaparish https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801221157 Though cattle ranching is the main cause of deforestation, there are other elements that can contribute to this crisis. Small scale agriculture, commercial agriculture, and logging are other causes of this because doing those requires cutting or burning land to make more space. Clearing of land can even cause flooding which also disturbs the wildlife living in the Amazon. The estimated amount of trees cut down each year is between 3.5 to 7 billion trees. Although many effects are caused by people there are natural causes of deforestation, like invasive species or forest fires.]]> 2020-10-04 20:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801221157 mateaparish https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801245114 2020-10-04 21:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801245114 mateaparish https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801246714 While deforestation has a significant impact on humans, it also has a powerful impact on animals. Habitat loss due to deforestation is a common outcome for animals, such as toucans, jaguars, Giant Brazilian Otters, White Bellied Spiders, Peruvian Woolly Monkeys, and Iquitos Gnatcatchers. These animals have suffered severely throughout this process, and have even become endangered.]]> 2020-10-04 21:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801246714 mateaparish https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801480697 The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. The animals actually play an important role in keeping the rainforest healthy by cleaning up their messes if they make them, so without them it would not be a safe environment to be in. The Amazon Rainforest, and many others, absorb high amounts of carbon dioxide which is what keeps the plants healthy.]]> 2020-10-05 00:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801480697 mateaparish https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801554129 Deforestation is a big part of the world right now, so here´s what we can do to help. To start, we could reduce our wood and paper consumption. Another option is to invest in rainforest communities and get educated on the current events. If you can you could even plant a tree. The Amazon Rainforest is a home to so many species of animals, so it is important that we do everything that we can to help keep it safe for all of the wildlife.]]> 2020-10-05 01:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801554129 mateaparish https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801621160 Why is the Amazon rainforest important? | WWF]]> 2020-10-05 02:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801621160 mateaparish https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801628968 How Does Deforestation Affect Animals? | Greentumble]]> 2020-10-05 02:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801628968 mateaparish https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801632459 Amazon Destruction - The Rainforest - Mongabay]]> 2020-10-05 02:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801632459 mateaparish https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801634764 Local and Global Effects of Deforestation in the Amazon Rain Forest ...]]> 2020-10-05 02:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mateaparish/hkdpxwua7n7acawd/wish/801634764
