Crime in geography : Amazon rain forest

Today i learned about the crimes committed in the amazon rain forest ,mainly illegal deforestation without permits etc.Image result for amazon forest

The amazon rain forest is located in south america, located between Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Columbia and Venezuela.

The deforestation of the amazon is causing wildlife to run out of places of habitat to stay in which will cause many problems with future extinctions. The main difficulty of this situation is that the amazon supplies a large amount of the trees on the planet, which, as known are one of the earths most sustainable method of producing oxygen. If we continue to break laws and cut down trees illegally we are going to run out of trees and ultimately, Oxygen.

Another thing i learned today was the growth and smuggling of heroin and other opiates into the UK from Afghanistan, Which is currently one of the largest growers of opium across the planet.
