    KEY

    The world’s great rainforests are all near the equator, in south-east Asia, Africa and
    South America. These are huge areas of thick forest with very tall trees, where it rains
    almost every day.

    They are home to millions of kinds of exotic animals, birds, reptiles and insects, strange
    plants and beautiful flowers. Three quarters of the world’s species live in rainforests. If
    we destroy their habitat, many of them will not survive.

    The rainforests are important in other ways, too. They help to reduce pollution levels in
    the atmosphere, and affect the weather around the world. Without rainforests, our
    whole planet might not survive!

    We know this – but we continue to destroy 30,000 hectares of rainforest every single
    day. Logging companies cut down trees to sell the wood, farmers clear the land to grow
    crops, and we build towns and roads where the forests used to be.

    The biggest and most important of these forests is the Amazon rainforest in South
    America. Experts say that there are rare animal species in the forest which we have
    never seen. They also believe that plants from the forest could give us many important
    new medicines, such as cures for cancer and AIDS.

    The Amazon rainforest is disappearing very quickly, though. Experts are afraid that
    many wonderful plant and animal species will become extinct before we have a chance
    to discover them.
