Amazone forest was severely destroyed

The report of the Israeli Institute, Caliphonia, USA, published on October 20 shows a much worse situation than what we know about the destruction that is taking place in Amazone, Brazil, which is considered " leaf. " lungs "of the whole world.

Scientists at the Institute said the Amarone forest was twice as devastated as estimated. The analytical data obtained from satellites, applying new optical technology, can be surveyed under dense canopy of trees, exposing deforestation in a selective manner here.

On average, each year, there are 12,000 to 20,000 km2 of Amazone forest being cut down one by one, but not completely cleared, many precious timber trees are lost.

Previously satellite images were difficult to detect.

Photos of amazone forest were taken by satellites in 1999. Pink spots are forest areas devastated.

Amazone forest is home to about one-third of the animals on Earth, from insects to wild animals, but their numbers have decreased very rapidly since the 70s of the century before humans burned, forest exploitation for land for other purposes.

In the past three decades alone, 17% of Amazonian forests have been converted for use.
