Deep rivers, tall trees, strange animals, beautiful flowers - this isthe rainforest. Burning trees, thick smoke, new roads and cities, dead animals, people without homes - this is the rainforest too. To somepeople the rainforests mean beautiful places that you can visit, toothers they mean trees that they can cut down and sell. Between 1950and 2000 half of the world's rainforests disappeared. While you readthese words, somewhere in the world people are cutting down rainforest trees. What are these wonderful places that we call rainforests - and is it too late to save them?
