Amazônia and The High Temperatures

            The deforestation in Amazônia-Brazil is a serious problem. Every day the woodcutters destroy a part of the Amazônia rainforest and they don’t think about the damage that they are causing for the future. They only want the wood for free and don’t care about the consequences. I am writing to inform the people about the consequences of this horrible fact and to try to diminish the damage for the future, because with the deforestation the change of gases between the trees and the environment goes down and it can cause high temperatures, not only in Amazônia but in all country, so it is important to inform the people about it and to help them to prevent this problems.

               The Big Damage

            The deforestation of the Amazônia happens every day and a project who fights for the preservation of the Amazônia called “Greenpeace”, in a research, they discovered that every ten seconds one area of a football field is deforested in Amazônia and it is only increasing.

               A Hot Country

            With this problem, the number of trees really goes down, and it is causing high temperatures in all parts of the country. In Belo Horizonte, in the last 3 years, the normal temperature increase 2ºC and in Salvador 3ºC! In that period more than 5 people died because of the high temperatures in Alagoas.

               Ways to Get Better

            To stop these consequences and protect our life and our family’s life we have to stop the woodcutters and let them only cut a tree if they plant another to replace that one. We have to use public transport to help to diminish the increase of the temperature and we have to be more participative, making our politicians create new laws to protect the Amazônia and to give a better and sustainable life for all of us.
            To sum up, the deforestation in Amazônia is a very serious problem because it affects all the country, so we have to fight for our rights and we have to make our politicians create new laws for the exploration, stopping the illegal woodcutters and planting trees in deforested areas, because only in that way we will help to increase the change of gases, controlling the temperature, and having a good and peaceful life, with health!
