    Deforestation of the Brazillian Amazon

    Throughout the years, the Amazon region of Brazil has become the focus of many controversial issues involving deforestation. One of the main concerns within this region is the cutting and distribution of trees, otherwise, known as logging. The forest industry surrounding the area has relied on sufficient lumber volume and growth in healthy forests. The conditions and outcome of logged forests in the Brazilian Amazon is associated with widespread high-resolution satellites where studies have demonstrated that forest damage was caused by logging operations. Many remote sensing techniques are being used to perceive these harmful effects. These forests are at risk to high levels of canopy damage, making them sensitive to drought and fire. These operations create a high chance of deforestation before sufficient recovery can occur for healthy trees to re-grow.…

    The Amazonian Rainforest is home to hundreds of indigenous plants, and animals, it is the largest terrestrial source of oxygen on earth and many amazonian products are used to create daily commodities each of which is sufficient reason to sustainably develop the Amazon. According to the fourth document “There are over 24 edible foods found in the Amazon Rainforest”. This means that there is an open food source in the Amazon which can be exploited in order to help feed the surrounding countries and make a profit.
