Amazon Land Use

I am the Loggers side because they are not doing anything wrong if anything they are helping almost everyone. The loggers goal is to cut down trees for furniture. They go around clear cutting trees to get a certain kind that is good for making tables and other furniture. All they want is to get mahogany and rosewood trees to make money for themselves. Also by doing this it creates jobs for other land uses. It is good the settlers and the cattle ranchers because we give them land for their homes and farms. Yet they compline that we are cutting down all the trees when it is benefitting them. Although it is not benefitting some people like native Amazonian’s, rubber tappers, and environmental groups. The native Amazonian’s want to keep the land the way is so they can continue their way of life and the rubber tappers need the trees so they can use the sap from them to do their job and if they don’t have the trees then they cant get the sap. It doesn’t benefit environmental groups because it affects the land that they need to farm and use. The loggers help some in big ways and does not help many, so I also agree with the environmental groups and the rubber tappers because what the loggers are doing to the land is not good for what they use the land for and it is not fair.

Something I don’t agree with about the Settlers is that I don’t think that it is fair that they take all the good land for them selves and they have all the good land but the poor are left with nothing. I also don’t agree with the Environmentalists. I don’t agree with them because they feel that they can just come in here and convince us that we cant cut down trees to farm and make money to feed our families. There are enough trees in the world that you can still breath so suck it up and be grateful, plus no one cares that you found a new kind of bug, get a life.
