Amazone forest area was twice as much as the estimated figures images 1 According to the newly published research results, the number of forests in Amazone area is damaged by cutting trees for illegal timber more than 2 times as far as is still guessed. Scientist Greg Asner explained on the latest issue of the American " Science " magazine, images of the Amazonia area captured by satellites showed that from 1999 to 2002, the annual forest area was reduced. going from 12,000 to 21,000 square kilometers.

For decades, forest trees in this area have been illegally cut down and no one can give out the number of forest areas lost. Amazone forest area was twice as much as the estimated figures images 2 Amazone, captured by satellites in 1999, said that thanks to satellite technology, one could have an accurate picture of the amount of forest lost. Asner is currently working for the private Carnegie Institution in the United States. The American scientist was thrilled to realize that every year the forest at Amazone disappeared with an area like Connecticut. Up to now, 70% of Amazonia forest area has been destroyed .

The area of ​​Amazone forest is considered the " green lung " of the earth.Once the lung is destroyed, our humanity is also difficult to survive, the bad consequence of deforestation is to upset the ecological environment. animals and animals must suffer an unpredictable consequence.
