Rainforest: A Narrative Fiction

Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen, spoke at the Economic Club of New York yesterday. As a result of this speech, the stock market jumped and the dollar depreciated. Chelsey Dulaney of the Wall Street Journal reported that, "The WSJ Dollar Index, which measures the buck against a basket of 16 currencies, fell 0.4% to 86.65. The euro rose 0.3% to $1.13295." The key part of Janet Yellen's speech that triggered the dollar depreciation was when she said:

Spirit of the Rainforest is a book written by Mark Andrew Ritchie about the Yanomamö people of the Amazon. However, the story is told from the perspective of “Jungleman” a shaman of the people. Jungleman is a powerful shaman who knows the realities of both the spirit world and the physical world. His narrative helps the reader understand how important the spirit world is for the Yanomamö people. Through his storytelling, he highlights the role of shamans in the culture, customs of his people, and how those customs were affected when the nabas came.

The story Ferngully is a fairy tale that teaches us the moral lesson of the importance of protecting wildlife. The story is about a fairy named Crysta that lives in a rainforest named Ferngully. Crysta saves Zak, a human logger, which she shrinks to save his life from a falling tree. She does not know how to return him back to normal. As time goes on, Zak starts to have feelings for Crysta. More humans come to destroy the rainforest but Zak doesn’t tell Crysta that he was one of the human destroyers’. Crysta’s fairy community starts a battle against the human loggers and they eventually stop the machines. Crysta gives Zak a seed as a reminder to remember all the wrongdoing that the deforestation and pollution caused before she returns him back to normal size.

The depletion of tropical rainforests by third world countries, as well as by American industry, has been a growing area of concern for many environmental organizations. Animal rights activists are livid at the frightening rate in which species are becoming extinct in these regions. Conservationists argue that the foliage is disappearing at rates that replanting programs will never be able to compete with. Environmentalists and Meteorologists fear that the elimination of enormous quantities of acreage will result in a long list of problems, including global warming, abnormal precipitation patterns, and unpredictable weather systems, just to

Damp dirt and grass slushed under my fast steps as I ran deeper into the rainforest. Looking back, I could no longer see my small customary village, but a dense growth of green foliage. The near sunset sky darker than usual. Thoughts rapidly darted in and out of my mind, Karta had pushed me too far, why are kids so inquisitive? Why was my brother always annoying? Why does he ask so many questions? (Critical Curiosity) I needed to get away from him, from that place, I need a break.

It all started when I decided to go to the rainforest to explore new animal species. My helicopter had a random malfunction and fell into into the middle of nowhere, leaving me stranded in the middle of the rainforest. My only supplies that I could find was a single flare shot, emergency food rations and some rope. My first concern is finding water. I grabbed my supplies and started heading down a trail of mud and flattened grass. After about an hour of walking the sun started to set. I noticed a large tree that had huge wide leafs. I could use these leaves and sticks to form a temporary place to sleep. I started to gather up sticks to shape sort of a tipi. Then I laid the large leaves on the top and sides, and put one inside the fort to lay

In the location of the disturbance the first thing I noticed was the roughly half acre plot of disturbed forest had about 20 downed trees mainly large, older growth paper birch that tipped up in the same direction. The fact that these trees were mainly canopy trees and that they fell in the same direction which was roughly north, was characteristic of a wind event. Another factor that facilitated the tip ups was the close proximity of a swamp to the stand which made the soil loose and did not alot deep roots to be planted leading to a less stable root system. The area of the largest grouping of fallen trees yielded a very large opening in the canopy leading to the growth of many beech which are known to quickly move into disturbed sites. In this area the climax species is represented by beech maple

Students will work in groups to read about and research the rainforest during a habitat unit. They will read a magazine article that teaches about the animals and characteristics of the rainforest. The article will also discuss the deconstruction of the rainforest and why these rainforests are important to take care of. Students will read each section of the article and highlight the key words that they believe are important to each section. Students will then record these key words on their main idea graphic organizer which they will go back to after reading the whole article. After reading the whole article the students will use the highlighted key words and the text to develop a main idea statement to record. Students will then record three important facts from each section and record these on sticky notes. Students will transfer these sticky notes onto their group’s main idea graphic organizer where these will serve as the supporting details. The group’s graphic organizer will serve as a scaffold for the four squares foldable each student will make. This four square foldable will eventually be used by students to help guide them throughout their expository writing piece on

The Amazon Rainforest is home to a vast amount of biological diversity as well as many important ecological communities making it an important region to conserve and protect from damaging, extractive practices (Bowles 1998). However, many people, including myself, rely on this region for more than its environmental benefits. I use the forest for mining gold, a hugely important part of our country’s economy and future (Cremers 2013). I understand the importance of preservation but the government needs to set aside some land for miners like myself to use legally as well as make it easier for miners to go about their work in efficient, productive ways.

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.

From the outside, Ecuador looks like a prosperous country. Its top exports include shrimp and oil, and it is the number one producer of bananas in the world. If you walked into a local market, you would be overcome with the variety of foods, colors, and smells. According to Britannica, Ecuador is also among the most diverse countries in the world, being one of nine countries to house the Amazonian Rainforest, as well as two deserts and four mountain ranges. While this country, 400 square miles smaller than the U.S. state of Nevada, seems to face little difficulty, it is the most food insecure and fifth most corrupt country in South America according to the Food Security Index and Transparency Intl. surveys in 2015. The problem lies buried six

The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world it covers 6.7 million square kilometers which are larger than the area of Europe (About, 1). It extends from the low slopes of the Andes to the Atlantic coast of Brazil and supplies 20% of the world’s oxygen (Why is, 1). It is home to thousands of species of flora and fauna and hosts indigenous tribes who rely on the land to survive. In recent years, with the development of science and technology, the rapid growth of standards of living across the world the more resources are needed at an alarming rate to keep up with demand. Industrialization has brought the world countless luxuries which many would argue are modern necessities. In order to meet the needs of others; in Brazil, there is currently a financial crisis plaguing the country and is faced with the moral dilemma to provide employment opportunities for millions or protect their ecosystems which are vital for the health of the Earth. Today, the Amazon rainforest faces various problems such as deforestation, extinction of flora and fauna, desertification, and the interruption of indigenous tribes.

The Human Impact on Rainforests Human Impact on Rainforest is it a necessity? Rainforest are the beautiful gift of Mother Nature. It consists of the most magnificent species and plants in the world. 4.2% of the world’s animals live in the rainforest. This statistic it self shows how bad it would be to destroy such essential part of the worlds biodiversity.

The birds of paradise are a group of birds that are found in the tropical rainforests of south east Asia, mainly in the jungles of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and parts of eastern Australia. Birds of paradise are famous for their beautiful feathers of the male, which they uses to attract the attention of female birds of paradise. The diet of the birds-of-paradise is dominated by fruit and arthropods, although small amounts of nectar and small vertebrates may also be taken. Even the birds-of-paradise that are primarily insect eaters will still take large amounts of fruit; and the family is overall an important seed disperser for the forests of New Guinea, as they do not digest the
