What is good about cutting down the Amazon Rainforests?

Answer 1

Not very much is good about cutting down the Amazon rainforest. We cut down trees that have been growing for hundreds of years.

This small advantage hardly counts compared to the damage caused.

• Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. Cutting down the trees increases global warming.
• The Amazon rainforest is home to indigenous tribes, as well as thousands of birds and other creatures. This is their habitat, their home.
• Cutting down the rainforests is often done to provide extra grazing for cattle. Our increasing demand for red meat means that more and more cattle are put into production. Cattle and sheep belch out methane, which is a greenhouse gas twenty times more dangerous than carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Cutting down the Amazon Rainforest has very few benefits and is generally not advisable. One potential benefit could be creating space for agriculture or infrastructure development, but the long-term consequences, such as loss of biodiversity, impact on climate change, and harm to indigenous communities, far outweigh the short-term gains. It is crucial to prioritize the preservation and sustainable management of the Amazon Rainforest for the well-being of the planet.
