Who benefits from the Amazon rainforest being cut down?
THE WINNERS - The big-time "winning interests" in a tropical nation which is cutting down its rainforests are those few groups who obtain large gains from forest removal. These include ranchers in Latin America, loggers in Southeast Asia (producing for the global or domestic market), and - as always - politicians. People needing agricultural land are the main "winners" in Africa, due to that continent's rapid rate of population growth. The small number of individuals who gain from deforestation gain immensely and protect their interests via concessions from governments, (even if these activities result in a loss to the country or state). Other winners are consumers from the industrialized world, consumers who by deforestation can buy less expensive goods (foods, fibers, and wood for construction materials and furniture).
THE LOSERS - All denizens of tropical countries lose (except the few mentioned above). Many indigenous people and poor people lose their land and livelihoods when large companies move in to profit from forests. Even people from temperate regions lose, because they must forego the many values of the forests, such as ecosystem services, climate stabilization, and scientific and aesthetic values.

The wet, damp floor increases as the trees overgrow. As the Canopy descends with bright, colorful animals. it seems to dampen, slowly. Hour after hour, it dampens until it is transparent. When climbing to the emergent layer, it covers you - it engulfs you in it's precious leaves.
How many birds are there in the Amazon rainforest?
There is thought to be over two million different species of animals in the amazon rainforest, with half of them being insects. Some of the animals are jaguars (which have been hunted to near extinction), Brazilian tapirs, parrots, piranha, and bull frogs. Jaguars, hunted for their beautiful coat patterns, are very elusive and shy. They will run at the first sound or sight of man. Piranha are thought to be the most aggressive fish in the world and a group of ten or twenty can devour a duck's carcuss in less than ten minutes because of their needle-sharp teeth. Parrots are commonly used in shows abroad and are known for their intelligence and ability to learn new actions. I hope this is enough information but if you need anything else, you can search it on Google. :)
