The rainforestis getting killed by people killing each other in a war and fight or global warming is making it rote because it is to hot and it dries all the water up from the ground and trees. There are many reasons why the rainforest is getting killed.

There were an estimated ten million Indians living in the Amazonian Rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000 Indians living there.

At least 3000 fruits are found in the rainforests; of these only 200 are now in use in the Western World. The Indians of the rainforest use over 2,000 of the fruits.

They are trying to keep the rainforest living for a long time so we can get things from the rainforest and so animals can have a longer life. They want to keep the rainforest as big as they can keep it.

One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries. We are losing Earth’s greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once before covered 14% of the earth’s land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 year.

This is where the rainforest are in the dark green.
