RAINFOREST

INTRODUCTION
The Amazon Rainforest covers 9 different
countries and is the biggest rainforest
around.
This incredible ecosystem is being brutally
destoyed by mankind.
We have destroyed almost 20% of it. Here
are some reasons to why this has happened.

Fires are often set on purpose to

clear out the forest for personal
uses such as cattle ranching or
small scale agriculture.
AMAZONIAN TRIBES
Over 30 million people live in the Amazon Rainforest. They live in
the form of 400 to 500 different tribes with their own unique
culture.
Unfortunately, these people are under threat due to deforestation.
On the following slides we’ll see the 3 main reasons of their
existence being endangered.

CATTLE RANCHERS

Cattle Ranchers want spaces for their

cattle. This group is responsible for a lot
of things. They have also wiped a tribe
cmostly out. We will be looking at that
incident in detail later on.

DISEASES

These people, who live in a forest

with no contact with the outside
world (not strictly true) have not
an immune system equipped for
fighting against the most
simplest of diseases such as
colds / Influenza.

MISSIONARIES
These groups of people have been
making first contact with tribes since 500
years ago, all so that they can convert
them , with no regards to their wishes.

THE AKUNTSU
TRIBE

How Has It Been Destroyed?

The Akuntsu Tribe was once quite

fertile, but now has been destroyed
by cattle ranching. Nobody speaks
their language so we can’t be sure
about what exactly happened but we
can make a rough guess.

THE Z’OÉ OF BRAZIL

A while ago, the Brazilian tribe Z’oÉ were

contacted by the New Tribes Mission, a
missionary, who carried out a mission to
make first contact with the tribe and turn
them into Christians.
When the first contact happened in 1987, 45
of the tribe’s people were killed or died from
diseases transmitted from the missionaries.

Z’oÉ are the only living hunting and

gathering tribe. This is their culture,
which they would not be able to
carry forward if the rainforest was Presentation Design
