Amazon Rainforest Research Paper

After finding out I brought 100,000 acres of the Amazon Rainforest. I decided to go and visit, to my surprise the land was in poor condition. I was trying to convince myself that the land didn’t look that bad, but who was I kidding it looked horrible. I had imagined the land to look like a tropical rain forest. That consisted of healthy green grassland with trees, plants, bodies of blue water, and a lot of animals.
The Rainforest would have been wet and had warm climate. To help maintain the grassy areas, trees, and plants. Both the trees and plants play roles in the global climate and they support the water cycle. The bodies of water that flow all through the rainforest would be giant rivers, streams, basin, waterfalls, and lakes. The water’s would be a

pretty blue and fresh. With many trees, plants, and bodies of water the rainforest makes a good environment for animals. Animals that can live in a stable climate and can adapt to wet conditions would be perfect for the rainforest. Insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, fishes, and amphibians would be living all through the forest. The animals would not have to worry about finding shelter to survive the weather, because it temperature stays around the same day and night. Also the tree’s would provide shade and daily rainfalls, which would make water always available.
However, coming back to reality the land I brought looks nothing like I imagined it. The aftermath of the decimated land was devastating to look at. The rainforest now is extremely hot and dry. First glance I observed a large scale of deforestation, small amount of plants, droughts, and fewer animals. I also noticed the changed in the weather the temperature had increased. The higher temperature must have reduced rainfall across the area, causing a drought. With the lack of rain results in the lack of water towards the trees, plants, grass areas, and animals.
The deforestation could have been caused by the require of water, or by humans cutting them down. The majority of the plants died and the grass has turned brown due to the lack of nutrients from the water. Dried up dirt is taking over most of the land and the water’s has turned a dirty brown. Nearly all of the animals must have died due to lack of food. With the low amount of trees, plants, and animals the outcome would eventually lead to extinction. I thought to myself what am I going to do with this land? My first instinct was try and get rid of it, but then I took a moment and came to the conclusion I can work with this.
Having considered keeping the land I had to think of a plan. I am not familiar how to reconstruct the land so I thought it would be a good idea to hire a few people. After completing the hiring process we went back to visit the land. To my surprise animals kept disappearing, I decided to close my eyes and vision how I want the land to look. I know it won’t look like it did before, but I am convinced I can try and make it into a tropical forest again. With the lack of life on this land It was hard to imagine any existence here.
Before the destruction the area must have been crawling with wildlife. The population of the animals would have been high. The animals would have lived in a dispersed pattern. Each specie would have their own population like the mammals, insects, birds, reptiles, fishes, and amphibians. Some of the animals would develop a symbiotic relation to other species in order to survive. After the destruction they’re barley any animals The population of animals is extremely low, the species are at high risk of being endangered. The animals is now living in a random pattern. They can be spaced out and clumped together, because the need for food. The wildlife that is left would be competitive towards each other, because there would be countless species that would be competing for food and shelter.
I know that saving what’s left of my land would not be easy, but it can be done.

The plants, trees, and animals that were left after the destruction I would feed and give them nutrients. I would restore the biome by traveling to other parts of the Amazon rain forest and collect different organisms. The organisms I would bring over would be bacteria, fungi, trees, plants, and animals. The type of bacteria would be azotobacter vinelandii I would place it in the soil. The different types of fungi I would bring over would be lentinus strigosus, opinochordyceps, and hydnopolyporus. The trees I would bring over would be different species of trees such as the palm trees. There would be a palm tree that grows fruit. A palm tree known as the Euterpre precatoria tree that are spread throughout the basin in the flooded areas. The single trunk palm trees that have spines on the trunk, the palla trees, and the walking palm tree. Another species of trees would be the Kapok Tree. The diverse plants that would be brought over would be Bromeliad, Ferns, Orchids, Mosses, Vines and Cacti. The animals I would bring in would be butterflies, beetles, spiders, snakes, lizards, frogs, parrots, jaguars, sloths, and monkey

etc.
I would restore the ecosystem by maintaining its structure. When I am finished with the ecosystem it would be stable, healthy, and in a sustainable state. I would collect different species of plants, trees, and animals from the other parts of the Amazon Rainforest. I would then bring them over to my land and help them adapt to my territory. I would also bring in a lot of water and shower my area daily to help gain the moist and wet condition that it once had. The community within the population would interact with living in a habitat. The habitat would vary in size and placement. There would be different habitats throughout the ecosystem. The habitat would support the needs for the nature life and animals by giving them food, water, air, and space to grow. The organism would have an interspecific interactions such as competition, mutualism, predation, and herbivory. I would create one ecosystem for my land. I would add more of the same soil that was already on my land. By keeping the same soil it can support the life of the organism that was placed here before. So the organism does not have to adapt to a new soil, because they would already be used to it. The high temperature’s would affect the choice of plants, animals, and bacteria I chose, because they are not used to it. Until the temperature drops back to normal I would continually water the area to keep up the nutrients in the water and soil for the organism. The food chain for my ecosystems is the tertiary consumers, which are big snakes and cats. The secondary consumer would be frogs and iguanas. The primary consumer would be parrots, monkeys, grasshopper, and butterflies. The producers would be the plants and trees.
The restoration of the biodiversity would include the animals, plants, and trees. I would have at least 400 different species to start off, then eventually have more. All the organism would develop a symbolic relationship. They would depend on one another to survive and would able to benefit to their species. Conservation biology is very important to my land. My land would be resisted to global climate change, because I would frequently maintain my area. If the temperature is too hot, I will add more water by watering the land. There would be limited of human activities on my land, the people I hired and I would be the only ones to interact with the area I brought. I will place fences of where the land starts and ends to ensure that it is private property and no trespassers. I would try and hold the animals within my land to keep my area of the Amazon rain forest sustainable.
