    Picture  of  a  fly  about  to  be  trapped  by  the  Venus   flytrap     SAVING  RAINFORESTS:     Rainforests   are   endangered,   meaning   they   are   disappearing.     Why?     Because   the   trees   are   cut   down  for  construction,  furniture,  building  roads   etc.   Where   rain   forests   have   been   cleared   from   the  land,  much  less  rain  falls.  The  land  becomes   hard   and   dry.   Animal   and   plant   life   disappears.
