  1. No plant species are on the endangered species list in south America

    Mahogany. Its hard isn't it.  I suggest going to the library and reading books about the amazon or looking thought he endangered plant species list until you find one from Brazil.  This link is good though

  2. All species of Flora and Fauna are in danger ,that are in the path of progress,not only in the Amazon.

    near the river is probably the most secure so far

    ,

    since in the wet times the river banks are widely flooded

    so the places are to unstable for development either for communities or agriculture ,part of the year they are dry and the other time they are under water ,and the flora adjusts  and the fauna and aquatic life moves with the position of the water line

    the places in danger are on higher ground .

    But climatic changes have overall effects with the Flora and fauna ,starting at microscopic levels all the way up the many food chains affecting both flora and fauna

    CAN DEFORESTATION BE STOPPED

    Almost impossible

    SLASH AND BURN

    the Indians or local people would cut everything down and burn the Forrest to replace it with harm full short term farming, killing the soil in no time .

    Expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's

    clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

    That and the giant networks of roads that have exchanged forests for asphalt all over the planet

    --------------------------------------...

    In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years

    the Naturalists ,and the government ,keep watch. .laws are made for protecting the wild and to forbid logging.

    TV put out a series of documentaries

    there are campaigns in the News papers

    and all of this has not made the slightest difference

    --------------------------------------...

    Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

    the jungles gets smaller by the day

    more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees

    it is an impossible situation

    as long as there is poverty and an increasing birth rate in these regions the destruction will continue

    Locals are too easily tempted to sell of exotic animals to the unscrupulous people who buy them.for the market that exists in the first world countries.

    We must look for ways to improve economic situations for the local people who threaten the forest's´s,

    But what can we do about those who come from far away to exploit these resources????????

    One of the only ways to preserve the Forrest is to develop Eco tourism under strict control that has limited access ,and use the local people in the concept as guides ,hotel staff and get them to start home industries of artifacts .

    But now the quest for Ethanol looms on the horizon killing almost all hopes of saving the Forrest's
