Saving the Shrinking Forest

The Amazon rain forest, in South America, is the world's largest tropical rain forest. It covers an area equal to roughly half the size of the United States and is home to about a third of all the plant and animal species on the planet. For many years now the rain forest has been shrinking at an alarming rate.
Corporations and governments have been cutting down the trees both to make way for colossal cattle ranches and farms and for the timber. Massive construction projects, such as the building of roads and dams, have caused yet more incursions into the ancient forest. As if this were not enough, huge wildfires have decimated large tracts of once pristine rain forest. It is very worrisome. Once you disrupt the delicate balance of the rain forest, it can never be restored.

Alarmed by the rapid destruction of this vital natural resource, environmental organizations have been calling upon governments to protect the remaining forest. They argue that although the commercial use of the rain forest is necessary, its destruction is not. They say that the most effective way to save the shrinking forest is the creation of extractive reserves, which permit only the sustainable use of the forest. In this way local people can still make a living from the forest without causing irrevocable damage. There are now more than 20 extractive reserves in the Amazon rain forest. They have enabled thousands of people to live and work in harmony with the forest, harvesting fruits, nuts, plant oils, and latex. At least now there is a guarantee that some of the magnificent rain forest will be there for future generations.
