Peruvian Rainforest - Coggle Diagram
Peruvian Rainforest
Threats
Building roads
roads while vital to transportation destroy the habitat they are built in this means building roads through the Peruvian kills tons of biomass, animals and all things living. this is bad for the general environment due to the complex structure of the food cycle
Oil Extraction
oils like fossil fuels are found readily in the Peruvian rain forest meaning the forest is a target for many oil company's this leads to heavy big machinery being placed in the once quiet peaceful rainforest and if more of this happens it will completely change and destroy the ecosystem
Gold mining
gold is readily found in the Peruvian rainforest meaning it is a target for gold miners who dig up land and drill holes to find this gold this means that often animals habitats are ruined in the search for gold.
Agriculture
agriculture also effects the amazon rainforest because the chemical that they use is bad for the rivers and also this leads to excess soil erosion and the trees not growing
Extraction of gas
there are huge gas reserves and the amazon rainforest and those are exploited by companies but this meaning cutting down tress to install machinery to pump the gas out and leads to huge deforestation and loss of habitat
Logging
logging is the process where by trees get felled for their resources such as wood for paper or oils this can cause deforestation in certain areas and places
-
use
the Peruvian rainforest is used for many things from timber to gold mining most parts of the rainforest are exploited for their goods this can lead to the forest being wreaked
challenges
Despite this the corridor has some challenges, because the corridor is massive it is hard to enforce all the rules on all the people, many people could cut down hundreds or thousands of trees (against the law) without anyone knowing.
location
the Peruvian rain forest is located in the Peru Manu corridor which is in southern peru and coveres three states
