Here’s some good information on Rainforest Preservation.
| According to The Nature Conservancy, (2008), “Wild and amazing rainforest extend from as far as Alaska and Canada to Latin America, Asia and Africa.” Several thousand different species of plants and animals reside in the rainforest that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. |
| The indigenous people of the area are concerned with the many threats the rainforest is facing; more than 50% of all original rainforest, which are spread out around the globe have been destroyed. The forests have fell victim to ranching, mining, agriculture, logging and many other destructive practices. Logging is one of the main destructive forces and according to The Nature Conservancy, (2008). “Nearly 50 million acres are harvested yearly.” |
