The one thing that I learned about rain forests is to plan trees, so when someone cut trees at rain forests and the animals that lived there will be affected because someone destroy there shelter, we can plant trees at rain forests and we can help animals to build their new shelter or we can rescue animals at rain forests and take care of them, and when the rain forests are now lot of trees we can take them back at their shelter. smile

One thing that I learned about the rain forest was that rain forests are often threatened by the climate change. Drought causes die-offs of the trees and dries out leaf litter, increasing the risk of forest fires. smilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilesmilecool

I have learned that most of the medicine we use come from the rainforests, the rainforests create a lot of oxygen we breath in, do not palm oil or people will keep cutting down trees and selling, Brazil haves the most rainforest because people keep on cutting other trees in different countries, and do not cut down any more trees to save the animals. winksmileangelicstick out tongue
