How has the Amazon rainforest been affected?

Answer 1

Traditionally the Amazon was called the "lungs of the Earth" but this is not entirely true. There are many other plants and the biomes which they live in--Boreal Forest being the largest and most significant one--that act as the "lungs of the Earth." So what happens to the Amazon may affect us in different ways, environmentally or economically.

Answer 2

a common name for a rainforests it the 'Earth's lungs' ... basically without these huge rainforests we would have less oxygen and more CO2 causing the climate to change dramatically and less oxygen on Earth... rainforests are very important to living organisms, and many animals habitat are rainforests... without rainforests many animals would become extinct :) hope this helps

Answer 3

If the plant species which becomes extinct is a species commonly used by an insect group for breeding or feeding, and in turn, these insects turn out to be a source of food for another group of animals then obviously, as the plant species becomes scarce, so would the insects, and then, without a sustained food-source, each animal group relying on the plant would dwindle in size.
