How has Science helped discover
resources?Without the help of science we wouldn’t have
found the medicinal plants that are in the rainforest the Cocoa Tree and the Clavillia. We would just have thought that they were normal plants but with the help of science we found 2 really important plants used for medicine.
Human Activities that affect the rainforest.
People are cutting Cocoa Trees, Clavillias and other medicinal plants for the use of medicine which affects the rainforest biome because the rainforest is running out of medicinal plants! They are also cutting down rainforests for the use of homes to be put there which is not fair for the animals and different species that live in the rainforest.
Use of Resources.Even though humans are cutting down
medicinal plants it is good for the society because it can help people who are sick or injured. The cutting of rainforests is also good for our society and economy because people are getting more shelter while the country gets more money at the same time,
Thank YouThanks for watching and save rainforests.
