What will the forests be like in 2050? According to Britaldo Soares-Filho and a group of other scientists 40% of the Amazon will be grassland by 2050. Others say that nearly all of the Amazon will be grassland by 2050. Scientists estimate that 30% of the world's species are found in the Amazon and lots of animal's habitat will be destroyed. As well as that there would be water pollution, soil erosion and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Thus breaking the food chain and ending the lives of animals and fish. Fewer trees would also mean more carbon dioxide and less oxygen for us to breathe which is adding to the threat of global warming. But who is to be blamed? Americans have converted lots of their forests into furniture, firewood, paper etc. Other countries are no better than them. A lot of countries are labelled environmental villains because of their mass destruction to their forests.
