Deforestation In The Amazon Essay
Despite the R$200 million in investments and close security, deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon Region has shot up by 16% in the twelve months ending this past July. More than 5,831 square kilometers of the immense forest has been eradicated in the twelve month period, even with the 30% increase in surveillance.“What is a surprise is that deforestation is once again seen in great extensions (of the region), which contradicts everything we have been working for,” said Environment Minister, Izabella Teixeira. The growth of expansion is most likely due to agricultural reasons, such as livestock herding and the need for space for crops; satellites show that deforestation is most hostile in the protected, indigenous areas, where illegal cutting of

A functional region, such as the Amazon, has one central place and is surrounded by the areas it affects. Most of Brazil’s supplies come from the Amazonian region; food, water, shelter, and more. If the forests of the Amazon continue to perish, all of Brazil will be impacted by the consequences, which will then transfer into catastrophic alterations. Place describes what an area, such as the Amazonian rainforest, is like. This particular rainforest is wet, humid, and full of trees and wildlife. This “place” will switch over to vast, hot, empty farmland with the continuation of cutting the Amazonian trees. Altering “place” will lead to the death of wildlife, or the adaption, which could prove deadly to the Amazonian population; they will no longer be protected from carnivorous predators without their trees. Finally, human environmental interaction is present in this situation because of the cause behind the deforestation: humans. Farmers and large businesses alike are taking advantage of their surrounding environment, whether it means making space for farmland or building roads. In turn, the environment is reacting by not taking in as much carbon dioxide and unleashing the homeless wildlife upon the population. “This increase is not in line with the resources we made available for these (Amazon) states,” said Izabella Teixeira during a press conference (Alves). Even though some are helping, others are
