What are some threats to Brazil’s biome??

History
1 answer:
Nostrana [21]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Deforestation – From 2012 to 2013, deforestation increased by a staggering 28%. According to a UN report released in 2016, Brazil experienced a loss of nearly 55,000 hectares between the years 1990 and 2015

Farming – Demand for crops and livestock has increased, and natural vegetation has consequently been converted to crop and pasture areas. Between 1985 and 2006, total area for this use jumped from 126 to 161 million hectares.

Mining – Mining has caused severe environmental damage including oil spills and dam ruptures.

Desertification – Natural and anthropic factors have resulted in desertification, most notably in the Caatinga biome.

Illegal hunting and predatory fishing – Genetic diversity of fauna is threatened by poaching, which causes species extinction and disrupts the ecosystem’s food chain.

Infrastructure megaprojects – Highways, hydroelectric dams, and manufacturing plants have increased carbon dioxide and methane levels, accelerating climate change.

Natural and prescribed burning – Wildfires release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air, while prescribed burning for agricultural purposes affects soil fertility and flora/fauna species.

Limited conservation areas – Private preserve areas need to be expanded to meet adequate levels of environmental protection.

Climate change – The effects of climate change, such as more frequent droughts, increasing temperatures, and additional wildfires, will negatively impact Brazil.

What were two major successes of the labor movement between 1877-1920? Why were they important.
N76 [4]

Answer: The origins of the labor movement lay in the formative years of the American nation, when a free wage-labor market emerged in the artisan trades late in the colonial period. The earliest recorded strike occurred in 1768 when New York journeymen tailors protested a wage reduction. The formation of the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers (shoemakers) in Philadelphia in 1794 marks the beginning of sustained trade union organization among American workers.

Why did Lincoln agree to set aside the Anaconda Plan in favor of McClellan’s strategy?
antoniya [11.8K]
Initially, McClellan was trusted a military leader. He was able to successful train and equip the US military against the Confederacy. His planning proved to be detailed however, his perfectionist qualities made him slow to move and often without the aggression needed to fight the Confederacy. His plan was, theoretically, a good one in which troops would move east and come at Virginia from the water. This attack was aimed right at Richmond and if successful would have ended the war.

I need help with this question about preserving liberty, it's due really soon
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Governments are obligated, then, only to protect your right to pursue happiness. Simply being unhappy is not a justification for governments using coercion to transfer the fruits of other people’s labors to you.

On the other hand, the tasks governments are constitutionally authorized to do for us — ensure public safety, administer courts, and finance public goods that cannot otherwise be delivered by voluntary means — are obviously related to our happiness. We pay taxes, comply with the law, and otherwise give up some of our personal liberty in order to receive valuable public services. If we don’t get them, or their value is far less than the cost, that understandably makes us unhappy. As government failures increase, that unhappiness turns to anger.

Brainliest always appreciated!
