    I know 3 reasons why to stop cutting down rainforests in Brazil. 1, they are home to over a billion undiscovered animals, 2, they give of half the world’s oxygen, and 3, they have the beans that make CHOCOLATE

    I don’t like people who destroy forests. I will make sure that the forests are safe when I am older. People who destroy forests are morons! I love animals very much.

    I am researching rainforest destruction for a school project.I found out that not half but 3/4 of the worlds oxygen is produced there.Not only does cattle ranching effect the destruction of forests but un-controled forest fires set of by forest workers kills animals.Many unknown species live in the forest,many of them are extinct and didn’t even get a scinetific name!!There are about 20 million species that havent been discovered yet.
