Time is running out for trees and for us ! The rainforests are being destroyed at
frightening speed, by burning, flooding, mining, building roads, and pollution. In the last 40
years, about half of the world’s rainforest have disappeared. One day in 1988, a spaceship
took pictures of 8,000 fires which were burning in the Amazon rainforest. The fires made so
much smoke that airports in Brazil had to close, and traffic on the roads came to stand still. In
one year, in that South American country, more than 10,000 square km of forest went up in
smoke. So imagine enough trees to cover a football pitch, burning down every second of
everyday of the year. If destruction continues like this, soon there will be very little forest left,
anywhere on the Earth..
As the rainforests are destroyed, we put mankind’s future on the Earth in danger. One
of the reasons for burning rainforests is to increase land for farming. However, the soil in
rainforest is usually poor, so the new farms do not improve the food supply very much. On the

other hand, plants which might provide new kind of food are destroyed by fire, sometimes
before scientists have been able to give them names. Remember rice, cocoa and maize were
all fired discovered in the rainforest.
Rainforests give us medicine as well as food. A quarter of medicines in a dispensary
contain something which has come from rainforest plants or trees. Because of these plants, we
can hope to find cures for some of the Worst diseases of our time such as cancer and AIDS.
Thirdly, rainforests give us air to breathe and they keep our climate right. Destroying the
forests warms the earth up and this endangers he whole world.
