Selva And The Amazonas

Selva and the Amazonas

Introduction

Brazil is the country that houses most of the Amazon jungle, but deforestation and forest degradation is a problem that will last over time for more than implementing changes. The livestock industry is the main responsible because it is necessary to cut and deforest large hectares of the Amazon jungle to sow food soy, feed, pastures, among others for the consumption of animals, Lula President of Brazil mentioned: the fight against deforestationIt is an essential strut of our action plan against climate change. 

This defines concrete brake objectives of the illegal deforestation of the Amazon: it raises the reduction of 72% of it for 2018. In this way, Brazil will avoid the issuance of 4.800 tons of carbon dioxide co₂. Livestock industries in the Brazilian Amazon, is the great cause of deforestation on a global scale, being responsible for 1 out of 8 hectares destroyed in the world.

Developing

 Industries in the Amazon are responsible for almost 14% of the deforestation of the world annually, all this is due to livestock that affects a total of 12.57 million hectares annually worldwide. 80% of the deforestation of the Amazon is caused by livestock. Any global effort to reduce emissions derived from deforestation must be taken into account the activities of the industries that are causing such damages.

 Zero deforestation is a social and ecological imperative. The forests of the world maintain essential ecosystems for life.

Forests also play a crucial role in the preservation of biodiversity;More than half of the plants and terrestrial animal species inhabit them. Likewise, the creation of hydroelectric plants adds to this problem, the dams cause annoying noises for animals, soil erosion, flooding of large areas, in many cases with the native vegetation submerged as is the case of large trees.

Deforestation for not only the construction of the dams, but also for the roads that lead from and to them, the death of animals that cannot flee in time and the loss of fertile soils. However, the Amazon is in crisis. Illegal or selective logging is a very strong pressure regarding fragmentation and degradation in the Amazon. 

Currently, Ipé wood also known as Nuez from Brazil or lapacho has become the wood most demanded by the construction sector for soils, terraces, pool edges, etc., as well as on docks, catwalks and bridges. Many of these public works constructions. Spain is one of the main importers. One in two trees talled in the world is in the Amazon. The central explanation is found in the role that Brazil plays in neoliberal globalization as a granary of the world and essential raw material supplier, and in the near future, of Agro Energy.

conclusion

The jungle is deforest at an annual rate of between 10.000 and 25.000 km², depending on the international prices of meat, soy and agrocombustibles. Currently, according to Greenpeace, the livestock industry is the main emission vector. Brazil is the largest meat exporter 1 in 3 tons exported worldwide. Also deforested soybeans, which grew to the production of compound feed following crazy cows syndrome and biodiesel production.

There is direct and induced deforestation. Directly the jungle is destroyed to acquire or implement a specific product. Induced deforestation takes place when the growth of a crop outside the Amazonian ecosystem causes a thrust effect of the productive chains already implemented, and less lucrative, towards landsaiest jungle inside. That is the existing danger with the expansion of biodiesel and ethanol.
