 DEFORESTATION IN THE AMAZON

Deforestation is a process generally caused by human action, in which it is

destroyed directly caused by the action of man on nature, mainly due to logging
or burning by the timber industry, as well as to obtain land for agriculture, mining
and livestock. Cutting trees without efficient reforestation results in serious
damage to the habitat, loss of biodiversity and aridity. It has an adverse impact
on the fixation of carbonic gas (CO2). Deforested regions tend to soil erosion and
often degrade to non-productive land. Among the factors that lead to large-scale
deforestation are counted: neglect and ignorance of intrinsic value, lack of
attributed value, little responsible management of afforestation and poor
environmental laws. In many countries’ deforestation causes extinction, changes
in climate conditions, desertification and displacement of indigenous populations.

RECOMMENDATIONS

❖ The fastest solution to deforestation would be to simply stop cutting trees.

Although deforestation rates have declined slightly in recent years,
financial realities make it unlikely to stop cutting.
❖ A more viable solution is to carefully manage forest resources through
cutting and replanting to ensure that forest environments remain intact.
The cut that occurs must be balanced by planting trees young enough to
replace older felled trees. The number of new tree plantations is growing
every year, but the total is still much smaller than the trees that are lost.
❖ Deforestation can also be counteracted by raising awareness and
awareness. Sensitization and educational campaigns can be a simple, but
viable solution.
❖ Forest fire prevention Many of the fires are intentional and the vast majority
are caused by man, due to carelessness or neglect. Knowing how to avoid
fires is essential to enjoy nature and for other people to enjoy it too.
❖ Creation of protected forest spaces Lastly, protected areas of greater
ecological value must be planned in a differential way. That is, assign as
protected areas those places with species, and ecosystems that society
has considered important to conserve.
❖ In conclusion, man considers the forest as a space to dismantle and
develop other activities such as agriculture or livestock, and as long as this
behavior does not change, deforestation will continue to occur and thus
protect one of the most valuable ecosystems in the world, containing a
High percentage of the planet's biodiversity.
