Amazonia is noted for its rains, but it’s hydrological cycle is getting glitchy as evidenced by record breaking floods and droughts. With this in mind, think about how the deforestation of the Amazon basin will interplay with global warming.
Note: You can be a climate change skeptic and still recognize that the Amazon’s regional hydrological cycle depends on the existence of the rainforest. Furthermore, weather patterns indicate that the diminishment if the atmospheric water vapor exiting South America will impact the Southwest in USA and even Asia. Everything is connected.

Counties should attempt to change global attitudes to deforestation by ONLY setting a better example on their own turf.. by proving we value such things here... its about time we end this crazy love affair we have with grass by placing the maintenance of our landscape back in the hands of the ecosystems ability to rejuvenate repair and create stability guided by our intervention to ensure its both human and diversity friendly..
