Did you know that rainforests are home to some of the rarest and unusual animals and plants on earth! Unfortunately, if action isn't taken to protect the rainforests, by about the year 2035, there will be a little bit of rainforests left. There are more people on earth today than at any other time in history! The need for both food and land to grow on is great. Rainforests are being destroyed as people clear the land ot make room for houses and farming. Almost all of the remaining rainforests are found in Third World countries. These poor nations see the forests as a valuable resource to be sold for profit. In some countries, the sale of timber can finance needed hospitals and schools, as well as aid in economic growth. The evergreen tropical rainforest occupies about 4 million square miles of the wettest land in the world! The animals and plants of this rainforest coexist in a unique balance with a climate that they largely create themselves. Mearly all life is concentrated in the treetops. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
