rain forest #3
Comments: 1
The rain forest is being destroyed andthere are some broblems. They
are making a lot of houses witch is decreasing the trees. The
rain forest in 2004 lost 10,000 square miles of forest. In the Amazon there
are diseases that are killing the people. The diseases are; malaria,
flu, whooping cough. Also, miners want gold and destroyed the rain
forest trying to get money. Too much land is not being used because
farmers clear the land, plant crops, and then plants die. Rare trees
are being cut down illegally. There are some people trying to protect
the the Amazon like Brazil. Parks are being made to protect the rain
forest Some land is trying to be saved from miners and loggers.
