amazon rainforest deforestation shows positive trends
while destruction of rainforests is causing соnсеrn (беспокойство) in
many parts of the world, nowhere is it worse than in the amazon. often
called the lungs of the planet the 1.2 billion acre rainforest produces
about 20% of the earth's oxygen and is therefore, not just crucial for its
own ecosystem, but also, for the survival of all living creatures, including
humans! fortunately, the deforestation is slowly starting to reverse
(поворачиваться в противоположном направлении).
as in many parts of the world, population growth had resulted in clearing
out large parts of the amazonia to make space for cattle ranches, mining,
agriculture. by 2003, about 20% of the amazon rainforest had been de-
stroyed and disappeared forever, taking along with it, numerous species
of plants, animals and insects. experts feared that if the pace (tem) con-
tinued, the amazon rainforest would be destroyed forever. something had
to be done and very soon!
fortunately, the authorities in brazil along with environmentalists took im-
mediate action and things began to change. in july 2011, the brazilian
government announced that deforestation had been reduced sharply
from the peak levels. the data received from satellite images showed tha
from august 2011 to july 2012, there was a further reduction of 23%. bot!
the authorities and environmentalists hope that they will be able to
achieve their goal of zero deforestation by 2016!
the amazon rainforest gets its name from the 4,080-mile long amazo
river, the largest freshwater source on earth. not surprisingly, it is hom
to a large variety of exotic plants and animals.

The greatest source of my inspiration is music. This is the power, which makes you get up early in the morning, go and achieve your goals.
There is any music for any mood. When I'm depressed I listen to British art-rock. When I'm fun I listen to punk-rock. To my mind light jazz or soft rock suit best of all for relaxing. When I want to run away from everything, to deep into my dreams and fancies I listen to alternative.
This is one of the most sincere feelings which I have ever had. Pure and penetrating sound of the guitar which stirs up the feeings of flight higher and higher. Drums, making you move in time. And voice, listening to that voice you feel all feelings at the same time. Joy and sadness, but the main is unity. Unity with other fans, singers and unity with music.
And those beautiful moments, when you go to the concert of your favourite band and feel that all around you love music too as you. When the performers are on the stage and begin to play, you feel, that their energy passes from them to you and yours to them. Can't we name such relationship of soul as happiness?
