How has humans effect this biome?

Us humans effected this biome by cutting down trees, making pollution, littering in the amazon, hunting, taking animals away from the amazon using for testing medicine, taking animals illegally for animal fights and many more.

This is killing the amazon including all of the amazing animals in the amazon because without there natural habitat they can’t live properly or die quicker because if you put a anaconda in an ice cold environment the animal will die and the whole specie is endangered of extinction and it will effect the whole food chain because if you take out an animal specie the other animals that eat that animal wont be able to eat as easily.

How can we help the biome

We can help by stop cutting down so many trees instead of using paper we can use electronic devises stop hunting animals or taking them for testing if you really need to test medicines take animals that aren’t endangered of extinction.
