RAINFORESTS ARE DYING BIT BY BIT!

Every year, rainforests the size of New Jersey are cut down. The animals living there die or must find a new home. Plants produce oxygen and absorb carbon from the atmosphere (photosynthesis). Since there are a huge number of plants in the rainforests, they produce the world’s oxygen, which animals need to survive. Forests are burned down, then massive amounts of carbon are released into the atmosphere. Most the reasons of deforestation are because of us, the humans. This problem is called global warming.

•  Road Construction •  Grazing land for cattle

Rainforests are very dense warm and wet forests. It is called a rainforest because of the high amount of rainfall it gets each year. They are important to us as the plants of the rainforest provide most of our oxygen. There are two types of rainforests, tropical and temperate rainforests. Rainforests have four main layers. We can even make medicine, chocolate, sugar, species, rubber, pineapple and bamboo from the rainforest.
