The Disappearing Rainforests

The Amazon Rainforest has been described as the "Lungs of our Planet" because it provides the essential environmental world service of continuously recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. More than 20 percent of the world oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest.

Amazon rainforest finds unlikely guardian

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/82957.stm

The expansion of Brazil's soya market is fuelling an emerging cycle of deforestation. Over three-quarters of a million hectares of soya was planted within the Amazon deforestation belt by the end of 2001.

An area the size of Eire lost since 2003

Illegal logging and cattle ranching are still encroaching on the Amazon rainforest, but increasingly the large-scale cultivation of soya is to blame for the destruction. And it's not just the forest that suffers. Soya farmers often force indigenous peoples off their land before bringing in the bulldozers to clear and then burn the forest. The use of slaves to clear the land has also been reported.
