People living in and around the amazon rain forest
have used parts of the gaviola tree to prepare
medicines. research is being conducted to
determine if this tree can provide cures for many
types of cancer. continued destruction of rain
forests might
(1) reduce biodiversity and remove organisms
with the potential to humans
(2) increase biodiversity and remove damaged
and diseased trees
(3) reduce biodiversity and increase the
reproductive rates of all organisms
(4) increase biodiversity and ecosystem stability
where humans plant crops
