The Amazon Rainforest Economic Significance

The Amazon Rainforest holds Economic Significance to the South American economy.A main natural resource that is being extracted is the forests land, this is because they are building factories, raising cattle and agriculture crops(Soy beans mostly) and all of this needs wide open space, so the forest is cut down to make room for these industries.

There's alot of negative impact that this has on the Indigenious people, one of them are the logging.All of the trees are being cut down and in doing so, many homes to the wild life is being destroyed and plants are also being destroyed.Dairy farming and Agriculture has a big impact on the Indigenous people because both of them needs a wide open space so they cut down the forest to create a wide open space.The Indigenious people has to watch as their precious land and home is being destroyed.

There's also some positive impact on this and the main one is dairy farming.They are growing resources like beef and milk and their selling it out the world which is good for the economy and the business.Agriculture is another one because of the crops their producing that helps the farmers and the market.
