But this monitoring needs to be expanded to include forests affected by logging and surface fire if it is to accurately reflect the full magnitude of human influences on tropical forests. The eradication of the Amazon Rainforest and Rainforests around the world are wreaking havoc on the climate of our Earth. The balance of nature is being destroyed. At the current rate of destruction the Amazon Rainforest will be gone in a few decades. Every second of the day land the size of 2 football fields is lost forever in The Rain Forests of the World .
Rainforests are the most productive and most complex ecosystems on Earth.
Rainforests are a key element of global weather systems. Destroying them alters the Hydrological Cycle-causing drought, flooding and soil erosion in areas where events were previously rare. The cutting and destruction of the Rainforests also changes the albedo or reflectivity of the Earth's Surface , which in turn alters wind and ocean current patterns, and changes rain fall distribution. 1999and the year 2000 weather patterns are a fore warning of coming events for Earth . If we do not take massive action now it will be too late to stop the domino effect upon our environment.
