Amazon Rainforest Artifact Analysis

My artifact is a necklace and it’s so unique and important to me because it has my name on it. And it’s so beautiful, in the middle there is my name with Arabic letters it’s so old so I don’t wear it any more but it still my favorite on of all.

It also my first necklace in my life I keep it until now because I love my family. When I feel upset or depressed I tack it out and keep

Deforestation poses an alarming threat to Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, and it has been a serious concern for over 40 years. For thousands of years, the abundant, valuable resources in the Amazon were familiar only to the indigenous people of the region. In the 1500’s, before European colonization of Brazil, there were an estimated six to nine million individuals part of different cultures that made up a rich Amazonian society (“History”). Surrounded by the luxuriant rainforest and its natural resources, these indigenous tribes were able to thrive by utilizing the resources without destroying their habitat. After European emigration, the government of Brazil exploited the value of the Amazon’s resources in the twentieth century. In the 1970’s, the Brazilian government discovered the “untapped source of boundless potential” hiding in the Amazon and began using incentives to persuade settlers to develop its resources (Casey). Once economists realized the importance of the resources found within the rainforest, European pioneers set out to transform the Amazon into their home. By endorsing colonization, the government could not only boost the country’s economy, but also gain control over Brazil’s vast territory. The government supported migration to the rainforest and campaigned for the construction of infrastructure (“History”). In concurrence, the development of roads such as the Trans-Amazonian Highway, a 2,000 mile road built in 1972, granted people and machinery entrance to

The artifact I brought is a photograph of my sister and I at the Taquitz Falls, in Palm Springs California. This picture represents a successful hike that brought many tribulations my mom, sister Kailli, and I had to overcome during our adventure into the blazing desert.

The battle for the Amazon rainforest is a daunting task. It's a long going battle between miners, loggers, and developers against the indigenous people who call it home. It's a battle like any battle in a war; it affects lives, families, the economy, politics, and the environment amongst other things. The main topic of this debate is the effects of the Amazon deforestation on the people who live in it, this will be the focus of this research paper. In this paper, I will discuss the history, causes, effects and solutions for the Amazon rainforest deforestation.

Trees stretch to the sky, weathered by centuries of age. Golden rays of sunlight filter through the leafy canopy, but seldom reach the forest floor. Here it is dark and cold. The air is humid, drops of water collect on the petals of tropical plants. Flowers and leafs are a rainbow of colors, pink, blue and green.

They wanted to continue their traditional way of life. The Native Amazonians came to the rainforest in 1960. Also, -did you know that the rainforests cover about 6 percent of the Eearth’s surface. A thousand years ago rainforests covered 12 percent of Eearth’s surface. Loggers,Rubber trappers,Settlers and Cattle Ranchers came to the Amazon rainforest in the 1960s. Men in the rainforest do hunting. They hunt deer ,monkey, and tapir. The father,mother and children go fishing. Woman take care of the children and cook. What do the Cattle Ranchers do in the Amazon Rainforest? What do the Native Amazonians do in the

The Native Amazonians want to preserve the Amazon Rainforest because it is their home and has been for the past 12,000 years and they don’t seem to be moving anytime soon. One and a half acres of rainforest is being cut down every second. The Amazon is being destroyed at the rate of 20,000 acres per year. It is predicted that the Amazon will be gone in only 50 years. They don’t know anything else but home.

My essay is about how we as a planet should protect the Rainforest because it gives life and a home to many animals.The trees in Rainforest produce oxygen and help with the air we breath. If the trees are cut down animals would relocate to human populated areas where they may be harmed or the air may become more polluted, which can cause damage to the ozone layer. According to different articles, 20% of the worlds oxygen is produced by Rainforest, however, if the loggers continue to cut the trees in the future there will be no more animals in the forest. In the 1960’s Logger came to the Rainforest by that time, more than 80,000 acres have been destroyed.

Back then, we didn't know what they were trying to get away from, but it quickly became obvious that this was a permanent migration. Up in the sky you could see all of the birds in the world. They were all migrating to one place: the Amazon Rain Forest.They had made up their minds to move there to get away from the modern society.Their decision would benefit the humans because the humans would have more space and it would be a great thing for the birds so they can have their personal space . Moving to the Amazon Rain Forest would also stop the deforestation of the forest since their were more animals to be staying

I’ve just arrived at the Rainforest here in the Amazon Jungle, home to the largest tropical rainforest in the world. Many different shades of vibrant greens, and the whole spectrum of colors. With a range of 427 different mammals, over 1,300 birds, 378 reptiles, and more than 400 different amphibious creatures. The rainforest typically has a long and obviously wet winter, however the summers are shorter and drier.

The tropical rainforest biomes cover about 7% of the earth’s surface. As shown in the map, tropical forests are found America, Asia, Australia and Africa (so basically all over the world) but mainly in Brazil (South America). The Amazon rainforest is found in Brazil, Peru and Colombia, South America. Just like the name of it, the weather in a tropical rainforest is rainy all year round, day and night.

BCT refers to the Amazon rainforest as “ome” which reinforces the special, personal relationship between the Huaorani and nature. The text states, “The Bameno community wants to teach their guests about ome, the Amazon rainforest that is their home.” This text makes the claim that the relationship between the Huaorani and the rainforest is special. The rainforest is described as being their home, an idea that typically implies a special, comfortable connection. “Ome” is the word that the Huaorani use not only for forest, but also home and world (Kane 1995). Linguistically, this shows a link between the three words since these words are pictorially represented in the mind as the same (Aitchison 2003). This elaboration of “ome” and explanation

The Rubber Tappers are the most intermediate group. There job is to get rubber by tapping the trees and making small cuts over and over again. But what most people don’t know is that 70% of plants come from the Amazon RainForest. But with the loggers destroying the RainForest at 20,000 square acres of land a year, but they're not the only threat in the RainForest, The other threat is the farmers. One thing that they found that help is to make smaller cuts than bigger to make the rubber stronger with smaller cuts. With the rubber tappers they invested $108 million which $64.8 million in IDB financing

On the article “Amazon rainforest losing ability to regulate climate, scientist warns” discuss that Amazon rainforest’s capacity of regulate the weather climate is becoming lower now and its a problem because it might be connected with others problems in the world for example the plaguing Sao Paulo. Scientists noticed the if the forests problems become bigger the consequences will become worse and what was the possible cause at the plaguing in Sao Paulo. The author said that before the problem in Sao Paulo people known about the problems and had a lot of alarms there, but now they will finally pay attention in what is occurring in the world and hopes that they do something to change this scenario.

Rainforests, home of the jazzy jaguar, the shy sloth, the trendy toucan and the spry spider monkey, these animals are being forced out of their homes and ruining their way of life because a little thing called deforestation. According to the Pachamama Alliance, “Deforestation is the clearing, destroying, or otherwise removal of trees through deliberate, natural or accidental means. It can occur in any area densely populated by trees and other plant life, but the majority of it is currently happening in the Amazon rainforest” (Alliance). Deforestation is making it harder and harder for the animals of Rainforests to survive because it takes away homes for some of the animals and in turn messes up the food chain for these animals.
