The entire globe suffers when the rainforests are lost. The inhabitants of the Amazon River Basin are among those who are most negatively impacted by the destruction of the rainforest, yet they also contribute to it. The climate, the ecosystem, and the inhabitants of the rainforest are all impacted by the destruction of the rainforest. The inhabitants of the Amazon River Basin are not alone to blame for the destruction of the rainforest; North Americans are also to blame. Americans in North America purchase mahogany furniture made from trees planted in the Amazon River Basin.
 When the rainforest is destroyed, both the ecosystem and the inhabitants suffer. The declining woodlands have a negative impact on the economy. The rainforest's declining ability to produce oxygen contributes to the speeding up of climate change. About 20% of the world's total freshwater reserves are found in the Amazon River Basin. The Amazon River Basin also serves as a significant carbon sink. Burning rainforests causes carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere, a factor in climate change.
 The environment is impacted by the destruction of rainforests. The Amazon River Basin has flora and fauna from all over the world. If the rainforest is destroyed, these plants and animals will be forced to find other homes. The inhabitants of the jungle are likewise impacted by the destruction of the rainforest. People from the Amazon River Basin have long made their homes in the tropical jungle. The jungle provides them with food, shelter, and a means of subsistence. The people of the Amazon River Basin lose their homes and way of life when the rainforest is destroyed.
