Nearly half of all plants and animals on earth
live in the rain forest.
Half of the world’s rain forests have
already been destroyed!!!
Ask your family not to buy things made of wood that comes from
the rain forest such as mahogany, teak, rosewood and zebrawood.
Ask your family to avoid buying and eating hamburgers.
90% of the rain forests being chopped down are destroyed to provide ranchers with cheap
grazing land for their cattle. For every hamburger, 55 square feet of forest must be
chopped down.
