Tropical rainforests are world´s richest ecosystems. Over half of the world´s species are living in the rainforests.
At the moment over half(even 70-90%) of the world´s rainforests have been destroyed by humankind.
If we keep going like this by 2020, 80-90% has been destroyed.

Why we need our rainforests?
Over 25% of our medicines are prepared from the rainforest plants.
They absorb carbon dioxide and this prevents the global warming.
They product about 40% of our oxygen that we have in the atmosphere.
There are still so many species that we don´t know and could use.
Our children have the right to see these miracles.

Why we destroy rainforests?
Becose we need land for agriculture and palm oil plants. In Brazil they use land for domesticated animals kept for food. The meat we eat! We also buy furnitures for example made from rainforest wood. Population is growing so we need more and more land.

We have to do something becose it is very likely that if we destroy our rainforests we also destroy our world.
So please people help our planet. Keep it rich, natural and unique for our children. Help the organizations for protecting our miracles!
THANK YOU!
