Swallowing Rain Forest, Cities Surge in Amazon


          The Amazon was once a home to the rain forest with little human contact. That is now changing drastically. Population rates are increasing causing cities to move into the jungle. This makes the Amazon  Brazil's fastest growing region. Although, Brazil still tries to stay away from the Amazon people still continue to come. Scientist say because of the increase migration to the area could erode the gains that were recently presented by curbing deforestation. Possible solutions could be to outlaw humans from living in a certain proximity from the Amazon. The Barriers would be keeping people from moving there and what to do with the people already living there. I believe that this possible solutions could  work when enough effort is applied.
