| 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 minute. To find out more about deforestation and
