The rainforest are mostly in the developing countries like South America and Africa. That means that for people to live, they have to cut down the forest to make a living. Ex. A farm. But the rainforests around the world are also disappearing an acre a second. If it continues at this rate all the rainforests will be gone in 30 years. It will be in a time that most of us will (hopefully) be alive. So what do you think we should do? Protect the forest and take peoples would-be homes and livings, or let people cut them down?
I think there should be more protesting annd more people donations that way we can buy some lannd where the animals could stay but we would have to build a fence. then we couldd get some of the towns closer together.
Huh. I agree with what most of you are saying, but we also need to look at the farmers point of view. They should be worried about the rainforests as well, considering when the rainforest is gone, so is the nutrience that they need in their soil.
However, if they cannot find any other way of living, I believe they should be allowed an allotted amount of land that should be issued by the government. Once all the land that is not under state/national/country park protection has been used up, the rainforest should be left alone.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be quoted, then used against you.
the people that cut down the rainforest practice a certain type of farming that is not sustainable or productible they chop down trees to use for farm land and then when they have exhausted all the nutrients in the soil in about 3 cycles of harvesting and planting they then go on to cut more trees down only to repeat the whole process. They should instead go back to an old plot of land that has not been cultivated and reuse it after 3 years and more money should be used to teach farmers in rainforests areas to gain more food from a plot of land such as in the U.S. freedonation.com rocks with the free clicks and so does thehungersite.com along with therainforestsite.com and ecologyfund.com.
I would standd to protect the rainforest. It's one of those things that you just can't get back once it's gone. People can find other places to live. This entire Earth is full of beauty. We need tp protect what little we have left, before it is gone.

Protec the rainforest or so many critters would die it makes hitler look like a garden variety pyschopath and it's suicide rainforests provide a ton of oxygen that we humans need to live

The tropical rainforests of the world have been found to have over 200 plants that have potential cancer-curing properties. Chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans may all be extinct in a decade. And now roads are being built in the rainforests for logging trucks... and poachers. I did a project about the destruction of the rainforest, and I have to tell you researching it was one of the most depressing things I ever had to do.
It's ironic that the human race exerts such considerable effort to locate other habitable planets while being so hellbent on destroying the habitability of our own planet.
I think that we should find alternative solutions to this problem. I do however think that the solution is out there. I want the rainforest to be around when my kids grow up.
I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for wha
Most rainforrest demolitian isn't for living spaces (In fact, I'm pretty sure that living space is one of the last causes of destruction). Its for agricultural and buisness reasons.

Let people cut them down? Hell no! The rainforests of the world have an amazing diversity of life in them and if we destroy the forests the plants and animals will go along with them. The plants in the rainforests could have life-saving benefits (like a cure to cancer, HIV/AIDS, etc.) but we'll never know if we keep destroying them. I consider the destruction of the rainforests of the world one of the worst environmental tragedies of our time. I'm glad you brought up farming because some people may think that the rainforests are being cut down for their wood, when really for the most part they are cut down to make room for grazing cattle and growing crops (mostly to feed cattle and other livestock). I go to the following websites everyday that I'm online to click to save rainforests. You click, the sponsors pay. I'm not sure how well it works but I do it anyway. www.ecologyfund.com www.therainforestsite.com (you can buy stuff here too and the profits go to help protect rainforests) http://rainforest.care2.com/ www.saverainforest.net www.racefortherainforest.com www.tree4life.com
Here are a few organizations working to protect the rainforests of the world:
