Back in the 1970's, the Amazon rainforest was overrun by miners and settlers, claiming land and panning for gold. People chopped and burned down acres of land to make room for farmland. People today cut down forests to drill for oil, and mine for materials.

Good job, Louis.

Agriculture causes deforestation because of the need of open land. You also need open land which results to deforestation, for economic benefits. When cutting down trees people gain money because they are selling the trees they cut down to other people. That is extremely beneficial to the economy. The land owners in Latin America are gaining lost of money because they are cutting down trees for more land, then selling those trees. Which results to deforestation and economic benefits.

Good job, Paige.

Shakira, good points. However, you need to explain how deforestation might benefit the economy.

Deforestation is caused when trees are cut down to make more farm land and infrastructure, so the more forest cut down the more the economy flourishes. In the text it says that Brazil will have to find a balance between between economic growth and protecting the environment, meaning that the economy is affected by protecting the Amazon. Another example of how saving the Amazon Rain Forest is not beneficial for the economy because the more farmland the more crops that can be produced, in the text it explains that turning jungle into farmland has made Brazil the second largest producer of beef. That is how protecting the Amazon Rain Forest is non-beneficial for the economy. 

Great work, Greg!!

Deforestation happens because humans want to use the land for agricultural or industrial reasons. Industries and agriculture benefit the economy. In order to perform them, land must be used, and often deforestation must occur for land to be usable. In the early 1970's, tens of thousands of settlers arrived in Brazil and destroyed forests to grow crops. The food they grew was a benefit to the economy, but they performed deforestation at the same time. Both the economic benefits and the deforestation occurred on the same area of land.

Great work, Rachel!

Like cutting down forest for wood. that gets you  wood that can be used for fuel. It is also about land. People need land to have cows and grow food it is also used for building homes or business buildings. even thou both are similar they should not be tha

Deforestation  happens for several reasons like for land for livestock, farming, mining, or logging. Thais acts hurt the rain forest but do have a small reward; like housing, paper, and crops but at the same time still hurt the rain forest. By hurting the rain forest there are less trees to counteract all the carbon dioxide in the world and leave less space for animals to live.

Ryan, good job, however, explain how the economy fits in to all of this.

Many people are affected by this especially more rural suburbs being developed. Animals also are affected when this is exhibited in forests and rainforesets. With farming at an all time low there is not a huge reason for farming development. Deforestation is harming the environment, people and animals we need to find a way to reduce deforestation.'

Zach, good points. However, explain how the economy comes in to play here!

When miners and settlers came to the Amazon Rain forest for gold and land, they polluted rivers and burned acres upon acres of forest to grow crops. To continue, rain forests used to cover 14% of the earth. Now that the world has had major economic growth,  this number is down to 6%. In conclusion, deforestation and economic growth are existentially linked. 

Sadie, good job!

One way the connection is strong is because economic benefits need the space in order to be a benefit, so this causes deforestation. Also, economic benefits exist because of the fact that deforestation provides fuel for factories, which provides economic benefits. 
These two connections are just a fraction of all those connections that economic benefits and deforestation have.

Edward, good points. However, you need to explain what you mean when you said economic benefits need "space."

Deforestation is the process by which humans cut down trees, and to produce economic benefits, you must have land. The solution to most economy's problems is deforestation. People cut down trees to have, or to make room for,  economic benefits.  An example would be Brazil, they practice deforestation to make room for things like farmland so they could grow things like beef and soy. Yes, the environment had an impact on us by giving us land, but nobody realizes what they are doing to the environment

There is no real connection between economic benefits and deforestation because deforestation is when you cut down forests. Economic benefits is when people to make money and with no money people can't live.They make money by logging and mining for gold and using the wood for house.  

Savannah, good job! Even though you said there isn't really a connect b/w the economy and deforestation, there is and you mentioned it :) 
Think about all the economic benefits of cutting down trees...

When deforestation happens when humans cut down trees to produce economic benefits. Humans solutions usually lead  to deforestation. Land owners in  Latin America gain lots of money from cutting down trees. Then when they sell the trees in return they get money. Witch leads to deforestation.

Amira, good job! What are some economic benefits that come from deforestation?

People cut down trees to have land, and for economic benefits land is vital. People cut down trees for economics in the Amazon for miming and planting. In conclusion deforestation in the Amazon effects the Earths health but helps the economy.

Sadie, good job!

For example; logging, agricultural purposes, and for fuel. In my opinion, the economic benefits aren't worth the environmental issues that are caused by deforestation.  Many animal habitats are lost because of deforestation. Environmental balance is affected as well. Water cycles and soil fertility is also affected. 

Chloe, awesome job!! I love that you mentioned economic benefits aren't worth the environmental issues.

There are many different places and ways deforestation happens.  Sometimes people just chop down a few trees with a chain saw, sometimes the burn down loads of trees and sometimes worst of all "Drum roll please" they chop down entire forests with huge and destructive machines. Deforestation often occurs in Brazil or more specifically the Amazon rain forest. More than half of the trees in the world have been chopped down and that is a major change in the earth in only 2000 years which is a long time but not for that.

Austin, you make good points. However, make sure you explain how deforestation is related to the economy.

But, it is a benefit to our economy. We can make farmland out of the forests and trade the crops to make an income. We can also sell the lumber from these forests. Clearing the land to build buildings can also make an income. For example, the land could be cleared to build a grocery store and that brings money in. As a result,  a big part of the income can come from deforestation.  

Great job, Emma!

It can lead to many issues for humans. But it is beneficial to our economy. Without deforestation, there wouldn't be enough room to build things like building, houses, school, stores, etc. If we cut down trees from the forest, we can make money from that lumber.

There are economic benefits to deforestation as well. There is much deforestation but, they use the area that has been "cut-clear" to make room for cattle, farms, homes, buildings, etc. We can create thing we need such as paper, lumber, etc. However, a large part of land and our economy is created or built were a forest once was.

They lead to bad situations to the environment, such as, cutting down trees, building structures and roads, etc. Cutting down trees/ forests is an example of, deforestation. Most people think that building more/newer/bigger homes doesn't quite effect the environment. But it does, very much. One acre of rain forest is cut down every second, which is very sad, but people don't pay much attention to deforestation. Although without deforestation, there wouldn't be any room for, buildings, roads, etc.

Good job, Alexis. Make sure to mention "economy" though.

The economy is growing which means the trees are leaving. Almost every human thinks that cutting down trees for bigger homes, and better malls is a wonderful idea, but it really isn't. if you think you cant live without Starbucks, just imagine what it would be like without forests and trees. We wouldn't be able to drink Starbucks if we didn't have trees to breathe. Trees are the support of our economy and without them there would be no economy. Take this into consideration and don't just think about this problem, act on it.  

Elainna, good points, make sure to explain the connection of the economy and deforestation.

Cutting down trees makes room for economic benefits. But cutting down to many trees is causing there to be to much carbon dioxide in the air, which is bad for humans. In the text (paragraph 9) it says "what happens to the rain forest affects the rest of the world." which means whatever we do to the trees, effects us as well. In conclusion deforestation and economic benefits are connected in many ways.

Good points, Julianna. Make sure to be specific when explaining how cutting down trees gives economic benefits.
