Good day in the Amazon

We've all seen or heard at least once in our life about the Amazon Rain Forest. It's been rough recently with all the deforestation that happens with a lot of regions that hold such amazing and majestic forests. But the deforestation of The Brazilian Amazon Forest has decreased by 90%!! That is simply amazing on it's own. The Amazon Rain Forest is a very iconic forest on it's own and should ring a lot of bells considering it's been around for about 55 million years. And if there's any doubts on how important this really is, just remember that big forest such as the rain forest are becoming more and more harder to find due to people needing the area for their own purposes; but it has become so incredible that a place that's been around for so long that has even had a gigantic problem with deforestation but somehow is still so majestic and beautiful after all these years.

The deforestation of the Amazon Rain forest had been about 10,500 square miles in 2005 to 1,850 square mile in 2014. The main causes of the deforestation is the soy fields,illegal logging, and a process of getting coal called pig iron . But there are ways that they have been doing to reduce down to such a low point. The people of Green Peace have been cracking down on the Brazilian government about the issue of Illegal logging that's taking place in the forest and a long side that a proposal that's a funding mechanism to protect tropical forest. The major benefits that come out of the program is a large number of animals that were being push out of their habitat have better chances of finding a proper home and surviving.
