This Article is about the amazon rainforest, which is the worlds largest rainforest. It is located in South America, where we live in! It is mostly in between Brazil, and Venezuela. The problem of the deforestation is that this particular rainforest, helps reduce the carbon dioxide, a really dangerous greenhouse gas, responsible for global warming. Long ago, the Amazon Rainforest covered about 14% of the world's surface, now, it only covers 6%, even though is the largest rainforest.
The deforestation started to be noticed on early 1970's when brazilians started to cut off part of the forest in order to create paste fields for cattle, which is a really important export from Brazil, the beef. As the cattle beff price increased, so did the deforestation process. The years in which the deforestation was supper high, was in between 1990's and 2000's. The deforestation reduce after the year 2000 because they started to take some preservative conscience. 
One other important feature of this forest is that it is thought, that due to its unique plants, there might be a plant that can be used to change the world, there can be some plants that can have a cure to a incurable decease now a days, such as eights. Most of the plants in the amazon rainforest are unknown because it is really abundant in trees so it is hard to get to explore every little thing. If this deforestation process goes on, it is estimated that this forest will be gone by the end of the century, which is really bad because, if there was a plant that could help cure deceases, we would have killed it along with the possibilities of saving the humanity, and because there would be almost no trees to reduce the carbon dioxide, the global warming will increase rapidly and will might die soon, well, maybe not us, but the future generations will suffer the consequences of our mistakes.
In my conclusion, the amazon is a really important forest for our lives, and by doing a favor to the nature and stop killing and begin recycling, the nature will one day give the favor back to us with the gift of life, with water, with clean breathable oxygen and with a nice green world!
