Fears for Brazil rainforest rise with beef sales

In the author’s (2005) article, "Fears for Brazil rainforest rise with beef sales," he writes about the beef raising business which faced many problems in sales. Brazil is a country with so much rainforest that foot and mouth disease was diffusive, which led to affecting its level of imports to the EU. A group campaigned saying, “What about the rainforest?’’ This group was Irish, and supported Irish farmers against the threat of Brazilian imports. Many countries are criticizing Brazil because they have been making tree species extinct. Some people argued that deforestation has led to many different troubles. However, he said, Brazil is trying to remove the rainforest and change it to beef raising. There are three solutions that Brazil’s government can use to save Brazil’s rainforest: ban cattle raising, make it more difficult and give people other choices to make money.

First, the rainforest is very important in the environment. Plowing will impact the Amazon; because of that banning cattle raising is going to save its life. The Brazil government should let farmers know the risks to the environment.

Second, there are many ways to stop distinction of rainforest by making cutting it down more difficult. Brazil’s government should give warnings and punishments for anyone who breaks the rules. The law has to be conclusive to keep the environment. There is another way to make it difficult. Tax is a good idea to decrease the number of people who like the rainforest. Usually people hate the tax, so I think it is a great plan. I believe punishments or tax is a good solution for the problem of the rainforest.

Third, government should give farmers other ways to make money. Usually people are trying to make money in any way. First, planting crops is a good way to increase exportation. Also, a new technique can help them increase their growth and improve their position in the world. There are many ways that can lead them to making money.

In conclusion, removing the rainforest and changing it to animal raising will lead Brazil to big environment at environmental problems. The Brazil government has to ban cattle raising before it gets risks. Punishments or tax is going to be difficult for anyone who wants to change the rules. Government should show people another way to make money. I deducted three solutions for that: ban cattie raising, make it more difficult and give them other choices to make money.
