The Amazon rainforest in Brazil is the world largest rainforest with
over 30 million different species of plants, animals and insects. The
rainforest used to cover of the earths surface but today only
covers . This is mainly because some parts of the forest are being
rapidly deforested because the forest is so useful to so many people.
Deforestation provides benefits for many different companies which
wish to make large amounts of money. Also Brazil owes large amount of
Depts. and so the government believe that by developing the forest it
will help to contribute towards the payment of these depts.
Nevertheless it causes many problems for the ecosystems of the forest
and the world.
Deforestation in Amazonia has led to many conflicts between different
groups of people. Some people argue that deforestation has its
economic benefits and that developing the Amazon will have benefits
for the people and economy of Brazil. However certain groups like
world wildlife fund (wwf) are concerned because large amounts of
animals and plant are becoming extinct. They argue that it is a global
mistake and that in the long term this will only cause more problems
for Brazil and the rest of the world.
The best uses of the rainforest are those that help the people to
improve their standard of life help the country to become more
developed and wealthier and use the rainforest in a sustainable way so
as not to damage the ecosystems of the rainforest.
In order to draw up a conclusion to how the rainforest should be
preserved I will look at the different types of uses of the Amazonia
rainforest. Two uses of rainforest I am going to look a...

...can spend in shops and restaurants. This will
cause a multiplier effect as more people will be spending more money.
If more jobs are created this will increase the amount of tax money
the government is receiving. This money along from the income of
tourism could help to improve roads, health care, education and
housing. Also it would solve many other problems such as overcrowding
in certain places as the people would be reluctant to move away as
many new opportunities would be provided.
I think my proposal is better than the other uses of the rainforest as
it ensures that the rainforest is used in a sustainable way but also
benefits the people and economy of Brazil. All the rest of the uses do
not at least meet one point. So therefore both the environmentalist
and the people and government of Brazil would be content.
