Deforestation
Unfortunately,
the Amazon is endangered as well as exotic. Through the intervention
of humankind, much of the rainforest is being destroyed to make
way for "progress". It is not a simple tale of the
loggers and the natives, but is almost as complex as the interactions
of the flora and fauna in the forest. Many different groups are
involved and each sees the forest in a different way, making
the problem all that more difficult to resolve. While the Amazon
Rainforest does cover over 2.2 million square miles of the basin,
time is running out as over 80 acres are being lost every day
