Rain forest

Comments: 2    

    The people of the Yanomami tribes are with the help of other people who care for the rain forest trying to save the rain forest. 36,000 miles of rain forest was given to the Yanomami people. They are still dealing with illegal mining and cutting down their forests. The Brazilian government has been encouraging people who live in overcrowded areas to move to the rain forests. Not only now has the rain forest been being cut down, but for a long time it has been. There is still a lot of land left. People (farmers) don't know the soil isn't good for farming.
People are still cutting down the forests and don't realize that the soil is bad. By the time they cut down the trees it's too late. The government is getting serious about saving the forests. They have already preserved a California size piece of land to save.

Peter,
You incorporated all of the main details. Today in class revise your first sentence; the words are a little out of order. Also add transitions between sentences so it doesn't appear that you are listing details.
Thanks,
Mrs. Brunsman
