Deforestation
Over 20% of the Amazon has been destroyed by man. Deforestation is when a forest or a place with a lot of trees has all of the trees cut down so we can use the wood and the newly empty space for our own use. This is happening to the Amazon Rainforest at a very alarming rate. If we keep destroying the rainforest, at this rate, experts say the rainforest will disapear within 40 years!
