Introduction Biodiversity is the overall balance of nature, from animals, plants, and their interactions in the environment. Plants and animals contribute to biodiversity, each relying on the biological and natural processes within them. Plants provide a balance through photosynthesis, in which they absorb gases, air, water and release some to the environment. The concentration of plants in an area, like forests, adds to the effectiveness of the biological processes to the environment and its sustainability. According to Elias et al.the Amazon forest provides a wide range of benefits to the environment, the people worldwide, owing to its vast size (par. 3). The forest covers more than 2 million square miles in area. It has more than 16000 tree species, close to 4000 bird species, more than 10 million animal species, and the largest river (Amazon river), with 1100 distributaries. Such an ecosystem is self-sustaining, except for the destruction by human activities. In the last few decades, its obliteration resulted in severe consequences to the environment and all the plants and animals mentioned above (Brink 9). Researchers have penned various issues regarding the Amazon forest but never had enough time to write about it. This research explores the ideas already established by other researchers to analyze the critical consequences of the destruction of Amazon, lists the significant conclusions reached, and concludes by examining the ecosystem’s future situation. Research Methodologies The research dug on publications from various sites, like the Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development, to find out information about the environmental situation at the Amazon. Amazon Aid Foundation provided elaborations on the effects of the same ecosystem since the efforts to conserve it. Other researchers investigated the steps made when protecting the forest from damage, their success or failures. The Amazon forest received government protection from human activities until 2012 when stakeholders involved in safeguarding the environment remained complacent. Public outcry was reduced when the policies established to protect the environment gathered force. As a result, more destruction cases were recorded, resulting in large hectares of land being cleared for various human activities. The activities included farming, settlement, and tree logging for sale. Walker denotes that a tipping point was reached when the control measures were no longer adequate to the forces against it (16). With this, one binding effect was the displacement of animals that lived in the forest. With reducing forest size, animals moved to other regions, concentrated within some quota of the remaining forest, and sometimes endangered some. With the vegetation coverage reducing, the balance in environmental features was disrupted. First, plants act as a cover to absorb heat in an area. They also provide moisture to the environment that cools the regions. Amazon Aid Foundation (n.d) records the changes in the Amazonian areas due to forest reduction over the years. With the disruption in the balance of temperature, other features like rivers and snow reduced. Streams that built distributa
