Should we ban deforestation in the Amazon rainforest?

In science, we have been learning about how stunning the Amazon rainforest is and how it is ‘the lungs of the planet’. After research, we learnt where the Amazon rainforest is and that it provides us with food, such as avocado and mango, and wood for building. 

Today, however, we learnt how humans are ruining the Earth by felling trees everyday. Did you know that half the world’s rainforests have been cut down since 1960? We looked at the positives and negatives of destroying these habitats and wrote a balanced argument concluding if we believed deforestation should be banned or not.
