Book Review 14

RAINFORESTS

There are rain forests around the equator. The area is hot all the year round and usually between 20 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius every day. The weather is always wet and most rain forests have more than 200 mm of rain in a month.
Rain forests are important because more that half the species of plants and animals of the Earth live in the rain forests. Moreover the people of the rain forests have always used plants to make medicines and we can recover from some diseases by having the medicines. There are rubber trees there and rubbers are made of the trees.
More than fifty million people live in the rain forests of the world and most of them don’t hurt the forest that they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they don’t cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they don’t destroy the species.
We shall never know about some animals which live in the rain forests because every year about a thousand different species disappear for ever. Many animals are in danger of extinction because we are destroying the rain forests. To take care of the animals are certainly important, but not to contact with the animals and the forests may be more important for us.
