Each year, an area the size of Beijing plus Shanghai disappears from the Amazon rainforest. On September 30, 2008, Brazil announced that the rate ofdeforestationincreased more than three times in the past year. The Amazon rainforest covers around 4.1 million square kilometers of Brazil, nearly 60 percent of the country. The rainforest supports at least 10 percent of the world's known species. The 17 million people who live in the Brazilian Amazon depend on the land for their homes and livelihoods. Brazil is the world's biggest beef and soy exporter. Farmers need land for crops and to feed their cattle. Some burn patches of forest to clear the land. Others cut down trees for wood. They build roads to transport the wood. Brazil's economy is growing, but that growth comes at a price. In May, Brazil's environment minister, Marina Silva, quit her job. For six years, she tried to protect the forest. But she felt she was losing the battle against those who are eager to make money in the Amazon. The Amazon is the planet's largest absorber of carbon dioxide, a gas that can trap heat in the atmosphere. A world Wildlife Found study shows that 55 percent of the Amazon could be gone by 2030. Without those trees, billions of tons of carbon dioxide would stay in the atmosphere. They would speed up global warming. Brazilian researchers say that temperatures in the Amazon region will rise by two to three degrees by 2050. That, and the resulting lower rainfall, could turn 30-60 percent of the forest into grassland with only scattered trees. |

The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I'd owned was sold to pay debts that I didn't even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce (离婚) in the family. I'd lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right. Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange glow of the lava (火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination! The next day, I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn't painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (画布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $ 1500 before I even had time to frame it. The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater (火山口) edge of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I'm living freely and happily ever after. |
