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.

Does anyone benefit from the destruction of the amazon tropical rain forest?

Many people benefit including you and I. Without the Amazon rainforest we would have no paper and some foods would never have been discovered. All you have to do is breathe to feel the benefits of the rainforest as it produces 20% of the world's oxygen. However if deforestation continues, then we will lose a natural beauty and also 20% of the world's oxygen.
