Rainforests

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that tropical rainforests are dense, wet forests, found in high rainfall regions close to the equator; however, most of the rainforests have been destroyed in the last 50 years. The author points out that one of the main reasons for destruction of the rainforests is logging; corporations have convinced many rainforest countries that it would improve their economies to allow companies to use these lands, and now these countries' economies have become dependent on it. The paper concludes that the sustainable development of the rainforests will probably not be achieved until issues like poverty and consumer demands are resolved.

From the Paper:

"The rainforest provides many benefits to humans, animals, the world, and our environment. However, there are many dangers to the rainforest. One danger is that people and corporations are destroying trees in the rainforest. They are also killing animals that are in the food chain and destroying their habitats. The rainforest is home to over fifty percent of all plants and animals on earth. The rainforest breathes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. Some rainforests are an untouched frontier, with many new animals and even new tribes of people."
