DEFORESTATION IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE

The Amazon jungle is the largest forest and at the same time the most threatened.
This jungle covers 40% of South America and nine countries.
This jungle has a great biodiversity because it has 4 of all terrestrial species, the longest river in the world, the Amazon River (6,400km), and has many inhabitants.
The Amazon rainforest is the biggest contribution of carbon in the world, but because of deforestation, people convert the C to CO2 and, because there are fewer trees, they can't absorb as much CO2 and, therefore, there is more CO2 affecting climate change.
This deforestation is due to:
-Fabrics that need a lot of wood to produce, such as the paper industry.
-The cattle have to feed on the vegetation of the Amazon. A single ox needs 8,000m2.
-The soil of the Amazon is not good for cultivation so people go inside the jungle looking for soil to grow.
-The construction of roads has caused a lot of deforestation and, also, a great loss of biodiversity.
In addition, the Amazon River can be contaminated by so much CO2 pollution and lack vegetation around it.

They should put some laws that would control the amount of deforestation and limit the areas for livestock.
They should also leave the deforested areas to rest and help their recostruccion looking for alternatives that wood.
