Answer 1

The Amazon is recognized as having the greatest biological diversity in the world. Still, its natural heritage is extremely threatened: A recent survey by the Brazilian government found a high rate of deforestation and showed that over 9,000 square miles of Amazon forests in Brazil -- an area more than twice the size of Connecticut -- disappeared between July 2001 and June 2002. According to government statistics, the average annual deforestation rate in the Amazon during the 1990s was about 7,000 square miles per year. The current deforestation rate shows a 40 percent jump from previous levels - a troubling sign of the pressures facing the world's largest and most important expanse of tropical forest. According to government estimates, the Amazon forest will have lost 25 percent of its original area by 2020, a trend that spells disaster not only for the region's plants and animals, but also for its climate, which depends in large part on evapo-transpiration from its large expanse of forest.
