About this document
Amazon Rainforest: Layers, Threats, and Solutions by jyeom12 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil, South America and has 5 layers - emergent, upper and lower canopies, shrub layer and forest floor. Plants in the rainforest have adaptations like buttress roots, waxy leaves and lianas. The rainforest is being damaged by cattle ranching, mining, logging, medications sourced from it and new roads which are destroying the way of life for indigenous people like the Kayopo Indians and affecting the UK population who rely on medications made from its products.
