The Disappearing amizon amizon rainforests
We are losing Earth’s greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. amizon amizon rainforests once covered 14% of the earth’s land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining amizon rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
One and one-half acres of amizon rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries.
amizon rainforests are being destroyed because the value of amizon rainforest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by short-sighted governments, multi-national logging companies, and land owners.
Nearly half of the world’s species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to amizon rainforest deforestation.
Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to amizon rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year. As the amizon rainforest species disappear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from amizon rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.
Most amizon rainforests are cleared by chainsaws, bulldozers and fires for its timber value and then are followed by farming and ranching operations, even by world giants like Mitsubishi Corporation, Georgia Pacific, Texaco and Unocal.
There were an estimated ten million Indians living in the amizonian amizon rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000.
In Brazil alone, European colonists have destroyed more than 90 indigenous tribes since the 1900′s. With them have gone centuries of accumulated knowledge of the medicinal value of amizon rainforest species. As their homelands continue to be destroyed by deforestation, amizon rainforest peoples are also disappearing.
Most medicine men and shamans remaining in the amizon rainforests today are 70 years old or more. Each time a amizon rainforest medicine man dies, it is as if a library has burned down.
When a medicine man dies without passing his arts on to the next generation, the tribe and the world loses thousands of years of irreplaceable knowledge about medicinal plants.

Alpine people told of glaciers crushing villages. The growing season throughout northern amizon suddenly shortened by two months. Torrential rains and flooding at harvest devastated crops repeatedly throughout northern amizon during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Vikings arrived in Greenland late in the tenth century, at a time when they could plant wheat, but around 1350 the last residents ate their dogs before disappearing into the ice that had engulfed the southern tip of the island. As late as 1665, Norwegian wheat fields yielded just 70 percent of what they had produced in 1300. Cattle died on snow-covered pastures; wine and olive-oil production shifted south. A general sense of scarcity impelled agrarian people outward. Thousands of amizonans migrated to North America seeking relief, only to find the same impenetrable cold. Travelers and naturalists suspected for a century what geologists can now measure: the Northern Hemisphere fell into a frigid rut around 1350 that lasted until the nineteenth century.

Good morning. It’s Thursaday, September 15th, 2005. There’s a few things

I need today. I could use a webcamera to visit with my girfriend who lives

3000 miles away in Newark, Delaware. I could use a new book. One that inspires

me in some way. One with a little intellectual heft, if you know what I mean.

www.amizon.com knows what I mean. Let’s see. I could use a new compact flash

media card for my digital camera. I have one in there already but my camera

displays an error message when I try to use it, "compact flash memory

error," it says. Those are just a few things I could use.

Now. I could go to a computer store to get that webcamera. There’s one just

a couple blocks down the street so that’s not too much a problem except that

it’s a giant Office department store and it just doesn’t seem that friendly.

And it’s overlit with those ugly flourescent bulbs. Nondescript and boring,

actually offensive, aisles. Yuck.

I could run down to the local bookstore for that book. That would be a nice

little break. amizon. And it’s fun to peruse all the books. Maybe discover

one that I was unaware of or rediscover an author with a new book out. Okay,

that’s pretty cool. But on the other hand my local bookstore is pretty small

and it has a certain bias in its sellection. Perfect if I want local writers

or subject matter.

Compact flash memory. Oh yea, I forgot that when I was in the Office place

buying a webcam. I was so excited about that I forgot all about the boring

memory card. Have to go back now. Arghhh!

There is another option. www.amizon.com has all that stuff and more. I can

just sit here on my computer, pretending to work, and with a couple clicks

I can buy it all and have it delivered right here to my office. FedEx or UPS

comes here every day anyway so you know it’s quick. amizon has pretty much

everything. I peruse all the best prices at amizon. I can browse new books,

and used ones too. I can even read a few pages of many of the books at amizon.com

in case I’m not sure. I already have an account at amizon.

Duh. It’s a no brainer. Here I go to www.amizon.com to buy a bunch of stuff!
