Reading
11 Read the text. Why is the Amazon rainforest of
interest to scientists and health professionals?
(2 marks)
____________________________________
The Amazing Amazon
The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in
the world. It is 7,000,000 square kilometres and
stretches across Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Suriname,
Ecuador, Bolivia and French Guinea. Over half of
the planet’s rainforest is in the Amazon. It performs
an important function. The plants take in carbon
dioxide and produce oxygen. In this way they clean
the atmosphere because carbon dioxide is a
harmful greenhouse gas.
The medical community is particularly interested in
the plants of the Amazon. This is because for
thousands of years the people living there used
plants to treat illnesses. Different plants can be
used to cure different things. For instance, there are
plants that can reduce a temperature and those that
can help ease headaches, toothaches and muscle
pains. The Amazon people who have knowledge of
these plants are called ‘medicine men’. When they
get old they pass on their knowledge to apprentices;
younger men who will eventually become medicine
men too.
Scientists have identified plants in the Amazon that
can treat diseases, including malaria. One
researcher, Drauzio Varella, from Brazil, is looking
for a cure for cancer in the Amazon. The work is
difficult because there are so many plant species to
work through. He and his team test each one to find
out if they have medicinal properties. This takes a
long time and is very detailed work. Another
difficulty that scientists encounter is the
deforestation of the rainforests. Not only are the
plants and trees impacted by this, but the animals
lose their habitats and have nowhere to live. As a
result, many animals die. If people continue to
destroy the rainforest, we will certainly lose our
chance to discover valuable new medicines.
Moreover, as the Amazon people use plants in their
everyday life, this makes them very dependent on
their natural environment. Destruction of the
rainforest threatens their way of life.
