What is causing the amazon rainforest to change?

You may ask ''why is the amazon rainforest changing?'' The answer to that is global warming and deforestation. Global warming may cause forest fire and burn the forest. The nutrients in the soil will be unfertile and hence cannot grow plants anymore. We can do OUR part by recycling plastic for example. Burning plastic will produce greenhouse gas which will allow heat to be trapped in the earth. If we recycle plastic , there will not be burning and hence no greenhouse gases will be produced.
Deforestation is another major cause of the rainforest itself shrinking in size. Why deforestation? It is for paper and buildings etc. How can we ourselves as students do our part? Easy. Recycling paper. Do you know that 17 trees are chopped down just to produce a ton of paper? Thats a lot! Imagine. If we just use as little paper as possible, how many trees could be saved?
We should try to protect the environment just by simply recycling and I believe it should be easy for us. If we save the rainforest , animals that are endangered can be saved and they will not disappear forever.
