How do Humans affect my biome?• Humans are the main cause of affecting the Amazon

Rainforest. The main reason is probably because humans cut down so many trees in the Rainforest. In Brazil the Amazon tropical rainforest loss is 120,000 trees per year which is all the destructions humans do to the Amazon Rainforest.

• Another reason why humans destroy the rainforest is that they don’t just destroy the plants they destroy the animals too. For example if someone kills a Jaguar just for it’s skin that is bad because then the number of Jaguars will decrease little by little and before you know it they will be extinct.

How can we solve the problem?

• We can tell humans and warn them that if we continue doing this the Amazon will have no trees left so if there are no trees there will be no life left.

• When people cut down trees at least they should replace them with new seeds.
