The Amazon rainforest, often called the "lungs of the Earth," is one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. However, it is facing severe deforestation due to human activities. Deforestation in the Amazon has accelerated in recent decades, primarily due to logging, agriculture, and cattle ranching. Large areas of forest are cleared to create space for crops and livestock, leading to the destruction of habitats for countless species. The impact of deforestation extends beyond just the loss of trees. The Amazon rainforest plays a critical role in absorbing carbon dioxide, which helps regulate the Earth's climate. When trees are cut down, they release stored carbon back into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Additionally, deforestation disrupts the water cycle, leading to drier climates both within the forest and in surrounding areas. The loss of the Amazon rainforest also has a devastating impact on indigenous communities. Many indigenous people rely on the forest for their livelihood, food, and medicine. As deforestation continues, these communities are losing their homes and resources, forcing them to move or adapt to new environments. Efforts to combat deforestation are underway, with various organizations working to promote sustainable practices, reforestation, and legal protections for the Amazon. However, tackling deforestation requires global cooperation and a shift towards more sustainable lifestyles to protect this vital ecosystem for future generations.

Threats to indigenous communities Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40. Global warming may seem like a distant threat, but it affects our daily lives in surprising ways. While many are aware of the melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels, fewer people realize how global warming is influencing their immediate surroundings and lifestyle choices. One of the first impacts of global warming is on weather patterns. In recent years, summers have become hotter, with record-breaking temperatures being reported around the world. This increase in heat isn’t just uncomfortable; it’s dangerous. Extreme heatwaves are more frequent and intense, leading to higher cases of heat-related illnesses and dehydration. People now have to adapt by installing air conditioning, increasing their energy use and, ironically, contributing further to global warming. In addition to weather changes, global warming is influencing the food we eat. Warmer temperatures affect crop yields, with many staple crops like wheat and rice experiencing reduced production due to unpredictable weather conditions. As a result, food prices rise, and food security becomes a pressing issue. Farmers are being forced to use more water and chemicals to protect their crops, which has additional environmental consequences. Global warming also impacts wildlife, even in urban areas. Rising temperatures and habitat loss force animals to move, often bringing them into human spaces. For instance, as forests dry up, animals like bears and deer wander into towns in search of food and water, creating unexpected encounters between humans and wildlife. Ultimately, global warming is much closer to home than we might think. From the food on our plates to the wildlife in our neighborhoods, the effects of global warming are real and require immediate action. Each of us has a role in mitigating these changes, whether by reducing energy consumption, supporting sustainable farming, or spreading awareness of the everyday impacts of climate change.
