kilometres. The region is known to be associated with the adjacent land of South Australia and New South Wales and is also recognised to join with the Wimmera and Loddon regions of Victoria. Also, because of the large area which the region covers and the diversity it beholds, it is sometimes distinguished into two sub-regions, the north and the south. Whilst 38% of the land is occupied by the public, only 1% of the remaining 62% is protected from grazing animals and only 3.04% retains native vegetation. ?

overfishing is changing the world. (4-5) These modern fishing practices use sonar and satellite data to find schools of fish and powerful engines to pull huge lines and nets capable of catching one hundred tons of fish in a single haul.

the possibility of using weather modifications have increased significantly.

390 billion trees from 16,000 species, 40,000 plant species, 5,600 fish species, 1,300 bird species, 430 kinds of mammals, 1,000 kind of amphibians, and 400 kinds of reptiles (“Amazon Wildlife”). In addition to the species richness and species diversity within the Amazon Rainforest, the 390 billion trees act as a carbon sink by absorbing and retaining large amounts of carbon in their leaves, branches, and trunks; it is estimated that Amazonian trees store 86 billion tons of sequestered carbon (“Importance”)
