Green Issues.
I have just spent two months in rain forest of Brazil. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Simply because there are so much life in there if you climb to the canopy, to the tops of the trees, you see birds, insects, snakes, tree frogs, lizards, monkeys. It’s incredible! Like nowhere else in the world!
Did you know that nearly half of the world’s animal and plant species live in rain forests? Over one thousand types of tree, most of the plants have never been properly studied. And many important medicines come from tropical plants. A treatment for cancer or AIDS may be hidden here just waiting to be discovered or destroyed.
It is tragic that the world’s rain forests are being destroyed since 1945. We have lost more than 50% of them. We must stop now or it’ll be too late.
The forests are the lungs of the earth. They breathe in the carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen and water. We have to save them. Otherwise there will be a catastrophic change in the whole world’s climate.
· Answer these questions. Prove your answer.
1. Why rain forests are so important for our planet?
