What is the economic importance of the rain forests in south America?

* The Amazon rainforest is one of the most important producers of natural rubber in the world. * Also, a major part of the economy of the Amazon rainforest is illegal activity such as drug dealing and wood cutting. Most of the drugs are not farmed in the Amazon region, but the area provides a good path for the drug dealers to deliver their products. * Also, tourism is also a small part of the Amazon economy. It is not nearly as important as the other things mentioned, but it still plays a part in the economy of that area.

How would the destruction of the Amazon rain forest hurt the earth?

Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year, now that's a BIG amount.

There were an estimated 10 million Indians living in the Amazon Rainforest five centuries ago but today there are less than 200,000.

Just calculate and estimate from this- if the entire Amazon were burned, we would be losing a large percent of the world's oxygen producers, and would worsen greenhouse effects along with it.

If a tree fell down in the forest and no one heard it did it make a sound?

Yes, it does make a sound. It's similar to asking the question, if the TV's turned on with the volume up, but you're at the neighbor's house and can't hear it, is there still sound coming from the TV? Yes. However, this is my interpretation of it only.

Sound can also be defined as "the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium."(dictionary.com). If sound is defined in that way, then the answer to this question would be no, because no one's ears("organs of hearing") would sense it.

Also, not all mimes are deaf and could hear the tree falling.
