ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES - REVENGE OF THE AMAZON FOREST?
The wave of destruction in the Amazon has increased dramatically over the past 30 years. From the 16th century to 1970, only 1% of the total forest was felled, since then 14% of the rainforest has been cut down. Every eight seconds, an area equivalent to a football field is chopped down, set on fire, and turned into pasture or agricultural land. Now mysterious viruses and incurable diseases are killing people at an alarming rate. The indigenous Indio people believe the Amazon is getting its revenge, while medical staff in the region agree, there may be some truth in their thinking.
