among several elite scientists whose research has given great cause for concern. He and others have observed and documented the sobering evidence that human beings, due to the impact and
over exploitation of the Earths resources, are creating and laying the foundation for disaster of epic proportions. The deforestation of the Amazon is a large part of this cataclysmic puzzle.
The majority of the public wrongly believe that loss of habitat in the Amazon is due in a large part to pollution, but studies show that this is only a
small fragment of the reason for the destruction. Deforestation can occur in many ways and by many means, some direct, but most often indirectly caused by logging, agriculture, ever expanding
human populations, mining, even tourism. The constant degrading and destroying of habitats and the over exploitation of these habitats and species have
disrupted the cycle of rise and decline amongst all of life on the planet, it would seem. Wilson states that until mans coming individual species had a natural cycle of
a million years, then they either adapted, became obsolete and/or died out. "They disappeared naturally at the rate of about one species per million per year, and newly evolved species
replaced them at the same rate, maintaining a rough equilibrium," Wilson states. However, this is no longer the case. The rate of extinction has increased exponentially while the development of
new species and the birthrates of existing species have declined. Biodiversity is being destroyed because of this rate of extinction; biodiversity which includes and is dependent upon the trees and
plant life. Logging in the Amazon has become big business. A staggering amount of timber is harvested from various areas of the Amazon,
