Land and Resource Rights in the Amazon Rainforest

Land Issues

The deforestation of the Amazon forces Indegenous people of the Amazon out of their native land. They have little power to voice their concerns and the land protection laws are often ignored. This is a massive land issue for the Indegnous people in the Amazon.

Protection of the Amazon

Although there are laws and regulations to protect the Indegnous land in the Amazon, they are often poorly managed or completley ingored, leading to free reign on Indegenous land from farmers and developers.

Although it may feel like there is nothing we can do to help protect the Amazon, supporting organizations, donating, and signing petitions all bring us one step closer to ending the suffer of the Amazon rainforest.

Resource Issues

The Amazon rainforest absorbs a large amount of carbon dioxide within the Earth's atmosphere. With deforestation and areas of the Amazon quickly being destroyed, this natural resource is beginning to weaken.

As land in the Amazon is taken over for industrial projects and development, The Amazon's Indegnous people continue to lose mass amounts of resources from their native lands.

Environmental Importance of the Amazon

The Amazon rainforest plays a huge role in the reuglation of oxygen and carbon dioxide cycles.

The Amazon is the largest tropical rainforest in the world.
