Benefits Of Deforestation Of Bolivia

In the tropics of the globe, life is supported for millions of acres that is essential for the world climate in a dense, tall jungle called rainforests. Vegetation, animals, people, and anything living and breathing on this planet depend on rainforests to do their job. They provide the stability of natural atmosphere; they provide natural and reusable resources; they prevent many natural disasters and help filter water. There are countless benefits that the rainforest gives us. The forest community, however, is rapidly shrinking in the South America Amazon Basin, which encompass some or parts of Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. In Central America, the Panama rainforest includes parts or all of

Animals that live and rely on the Bolivian forest like we do include river dolphins, marsh deer, maned wolves, pumas, jaguars, rodents, opossums, bats, and birds to name but a few. In Bolivia alone, the deforestation is ripping animals from their home. This can lead to extinction of animals. In Bolivia alone, about 75 animals are endangered and at risk of extinction. The forest is their shelter that they rely on to survive. If we take it away not only will we lose the benefits of the forest, but the benefits that living animals do for a community. For example, if there were no more deer, and humans and other species would have to live without them in the food chain. With global warming, the earth’s climate is theorized to be increasing more than ever. And with good climate in decline, the lack of forest would even further the devastating effects of global warming. Additionally, it would undermine the valuable services provided by biological diversity. “Forests help prevent erosion and floods, help water filtration, fishery protection and pollination” (Rainforests). The renewable resources provided by forests include wood, medicine plants, nuts, fruit and game. If you take forests away, these valuable resources won’t be available

For example, WWF (World Wildlife Fund) of Bolivia has a Forestry Program that promotes the strengthening of capacities for indigenous communities in forest management and their integration in the market through forest. The Fund encourages the forest to be used, but in simple and manageable amounts that can easily be replanted. For example, they help trade through the creation of a preferential demand for legal wood from the forest, but in smaller and replaceable amounts. Another organization included the “Save the Rainforest” movement that forced changes which resulted in dramatically slowed deforestation across the Amazon Basin. The problem remained, however, shortly after the organization lost its fire. Harmful activity increased in some of the biggest expanses of forests in the world (Bolivia). “‘One company alone cannot solve this issue,’ Mr. Lindsay (Bunge’s vice president for global corporate affair) said. ‘A positive step would be for more companies to adopt zero deforestation commitments’” (Tabuchi). A really proficient way of promoting rainforests, as Costa Rica has established, is ecotourism, or the use of the rainforest to promote tourism and profit from the natural environment. People will pay to come from all over the world to visit natural rainforests for tourism, which actually may be even for profitable than any kind of logging, or agriculture and cattle
