Conservation of Biodiversity in Peruvianamazonia Through Integrated Action

The Amazon forest occupies a relevant place on the international scene and its importance is recognized worldwide. The goal of this paper is to present general information about the Amazon area, showing the biodiversity and the environmental, social, and economic impact in exploring that area. This paper will also emphasize what are the values of that ecosystem to the world, explaining about several natural resources, fauna, and flora in the Amazon forest. The author supported his arguments on articles and books that are in the reference. As a result, the author provides an overview and some important details about that area, bringing arguments and evidences to show why is important take care of the Amazon forest.

Furthermore, the Amazon Rainforest is home to a commodity of natural resources, from tropical hardwoods to oil to minerals to plant, fungi and bacteria used in medicines. Similarly, over five hundred species of mammals inhabit the area, along with numerous birds, fish, reptiles and insects distinct to the environment. Unfortunately, several of the animals have become noted on the endangered species list. (Amazon Aid Foundation)

Brazil is the 5th largest country in the World, and home to an almost uncountable number of species, where hundreds of new species are discovered every year. The biodiversity in Brazil is divided between six main biomes, and its marine and coastal zones: Amazon biome, Pantanal biome, Cerrado biome (Savanna), Caatinga biome (Tropical Scrub Forest), Atlantic Forest biome, and the Pampa biome. 20% of the Earth’s biodiversity is estimated to be found in Brazil. Furthermore, it is well known that all brazilian biomes have been struggling with human activities, the pressures. Human pressures have been driving a high number of species towards nearly extinction in Brazil; some are believed to be extinct even before they have been studied by formal

The question researched was “How does deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, South America, impact the environment?” The topic of deforestation in the Amazon was chosen as there is much concern about the problem and for the future of the Earth. There were different research processes used to discover new information about the problems in the Amazon rainforest such as, an interview with a person who currently lives in Brazil, annotating books, journals, internet research and surveys. These helped me find reliable, credible information and helped me decide when information found was not true. The research was presented as a scientific report. This allowed the findings to be presented. The outcome helped

Although relatively small in size, Ecuador is one of the most biologically diverse nations in the world. A drastic range of altitude and geographical diversity in such a small area has resulted in a high number of diverse climactic regions. Because of their very different climates and altitudes, Ecuador’s four main regions, the lowland Pacific Coast, the Andes Mountains, the Amazon rainforest, and the Galapagos Islands, are each home to a wide variety of plant and animal species. These many distinct ecosystems and the hundreds of endemic species residing within Ecuador’s borders have led scientists to classify it as a biodiversity “hotspot”.

To explain, the tropical rainforest ecosystem has a strong connection to each other, but vulnerable, so a little change can ruin the ecological balance and caused some species are highly endangered (Greenhall,2008). Therefore,

The quality and quantity of water sources in Peru are being continually threatened by overfishing and water pollution. These environmental problems are the result of the economic expansion that jeopardizes water sources such as Lake Titicaca and Amazon Basins. Moreover, the high rate of deforestation is generated by the development of urban areas throughout Peru. Urban pollution and the large scale extraction of raw materials are threatening the biodiversity of these water sources. For example, overfishing has contributed to a large decline in certain species of fish. The growing scarcity of aquatic wildlife has led to many fisheries introducing new species of fish into these major water sources. Additionally, the introduction of these new

This journal explain the ecological changes of the rainforest both in Peru and Brazil while explaining economic effects of the deforestation. Not only does it explain the ecological effects and change of landscape but it explains the damage to farmers today and the loss of economic stability. It is a good source to analyze the changes of more recent times. This journal will help me in the research of more recent numerical data (1999) to relate the effects of deforestation from the past and the effects felt

The Amazon, is the world's largest rainforest. It’s the world's most dominant rainforest in geographic, and variant ways. For example, it is larger than the Congo Basin and Indonesia — combined. The “Basin” of this massive landscape compares to the size of the forty-eight contiguous United States; it covers around 40 percent of the South American continent. Almost two-thirds of the Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil. It also is thought to have 2.5 million species of insects. More than half the species that inhabit the mighty ecosystem of the Amazon rainforest are thought to live in the canopy.

There are many ecosystems that subsist on Earth. For example, one paramount ecosystem is the tropical rainforest. The tropical rainforest is a prominent biome as it receives an abundant and sufficient amount of showers and rain on a daily. In additament, there are additionally several animals that optically discern the tropical rainforest as their domicile, all ranging from mammals to amphibians to arachnids, to reptiles, to plants and many more. One categorial tropical rain forest would be the Amazon rainforest as it is the most immensely colossal forest that grows in the tropical basin of the Amazon river. Covering a staggering 1.4 billion acres, the Amazon rainforest is home to about a moiety of the world’s entire animal species and around

One in ten species in the world lives in the Amazon, which makes it the most biodiverse tropical rainforest in the world. This great expanse of rainforest harbors about half of all species on Earth. As large areas of this tropical forest are cleared by deforestation, entire species are vanishing, many of them unknown. The dense tropical forests also hold a large amount of carbon that is being released into the atmosphere because of deforestation. Although deforestation in the tropics is rapid and widespread, some people are making an increasing effort to mitigate potential disaster.

The largest rainforest in the world, that humans have been benefiting from for hundreds of years is being deforested without opposition. Notably, this rainforest is the Amazon, and many people neglect the destruction happening in the rainforest and do not realize that thousands of acres of land have been deforested. Although plants in the Amazon have been useful for medical applications, deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is detrimental to it’s biotic species because it creates disorder in the habitat.

The Amazon rainforest is famous for including half of the planet's remaining rainforest and comprises the larges and the most biodiversity tract of tropical rainforest in the world. It is estimated that 390 billion individual tress divided into 16 thousend species reside

Deforestation of Amazon have start to increase in 2015 and in 12 months 30% of the area (Torres, 2017 ) have been deforested. Deforesting at this rate, it brings about threats to the environment, the animals and the native tribes lived in there.

In order to truly understand the magnificence of rainforests, let’s take a look at the largest rainforest in the world: The Amazon. The Amazon spans over 5.5 million square kilometers in parts of nine different countries in South America. It also houses around 40,000 different plant species! Not only does the Amazon hold thousands of plant and animal species, it also is responsible for producing over 20% of the world’s oxygen. The effects of deforestation could destroy the Amazon’s many treasures. Rainforests are vital for medicinal plants, timber, food sources, and other resources, which are becoming less and less abundant due to human impact.
