STOP RAINFORESTS DESTRUCTION!!!!!

WE did this for our needs, but there is a message!

IF THERE IS .........

no forest = no oxygen
no oxygen = no life
no life = we will die!
why=because we don't know about it!!

THESE ARE THE BIG CAUSES OF THE DESTRUCTION OF RAINFORESTS

1. Logging Commercial logging companies cut down mature trees that have been selected for their timber...

2.Argiculture
Farmer grow their animals and they have to cut the trees..

3. Fuelwood
People cut trees to get the wood and make the wood for fuel...

4.Large Dam
In India and South America, hundreds of thousands of hectares of forests have been destroyed because of building these things...

5. Mining
People mine because they wanted to get valuable materials...

6.Tourism
Yet, as national parks are open to the public, tourism is damaging some of these areas.

SOLUTIONS?

Five Basic Steps to Saving Rainforests
"TREES" is a concept originally devised for an elementary school audience but serves well as set of principles for saving rainforests and, on a broader scale, ecosystems around the world.
  • Teach others about the importance of the environment and how they can help save rainforests.
  • Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees on land where forests have been cut down.
  • Encourage people to live in a way that doesn't hurt the environment.
  • Establish parks to protect rainforests and wildlife.
  • Support companies that operate in ways that minimize damage to the environment.
