Amazon Aid

When we think about problems for the Amazon Rainforest, most people are concerned with deforestation. But deforestation is not the Amazon's biggest problem.The Amazon Rainforest is drying out. Climate change has caused global warming, leading to drought. Two recent droughts, in 2005 and 2010 were very significant in the Amazon.

Amazon Aid

Scientists are able to measure the impact of these two droughts on trees in the Amazon: core samples show smaller than normal rings in the tree core during droughts, this means the tree growth slowed during these times. In fact, the dryer climate means growth is slowing overall. We can also see that Amazonian trees live less long now, than in the past.

Amazon Aid

The dryer climate means the forest is changing, as plant species that favor the previous wet climate within the Amazon die out, replaced by robust vegetation that can grow with less water. Changing plant life, naturally means the animals who live in the Amazon must adapt or die out as well.

Amazon Aid

Not only are people clear-cutting and burning trees in the Amazon, but the dryer climate is causing forest fires, too. Even the moist canopy of the rainforest can't prevent fires quickly spreading along the forest floor.Some fires help refresh forests, but not when people are changing large sections of the burnt Amazon into farmland.

Amazon Aid

The Amazon Rainforest is an important resource for the whole planet. The trees slow the human impact on the environment by cleaning greenhouse gases from the air. It is also home to the largest diversity of animal and plant species on Earth. It is a natural resource worth protecting!
