Tropical Rainforest
One big cause to environmental damage in the Tropical Rainforest is deforestation. Deforestation is when people clear an area in the forest so they can use it for something else, for example building houses. This will effect a lot of the rainforest, animals will die due to lack of food and shelter, and the rainforest may never grow back.
another environmental damage is agriculture. shifted cultivators is a term used for people who have moved into already slightly damaged rainforest. these people are blamed for 60% of rainforest loss.
A third cause is cash crops. undisturebed rainforests are being messed with to provide food crops. A lot of this produce is transported to rich industrialized countries and crops are grown for export.
it is not too late to save the rainforests. three ways we can change to help keep them safe areone, making it illegal to cut down mass amounts of trees in the rainforest, this will eliminate deforestation. There are other places that we can build.
Two, we can make it known as to what is going on. If more people were aware as to what is happening more people would stand against it.
third, we can provide food crops from some other places that are already harmed or places that there is nothing.
These animals have adapted to fit the rainforest, we can adapt to help protect them!
