Secondly, the rainforest also helps us. Many of the plants that live there produce medicines for curing diseases. The cocoa tree, as well as producing chocolate, also helps kidney stones, cuts, and even burns. The Trumpet tree is also very helpful. It treats asthma and skin warts. The rainforest also helps us by giving us food. The Brazil nut, the Guarana, Acai, and the passion fruit are all found in the Amazon along with many other foods.
Now, do you think it’s important to save the rainforest? These are not even all the reasons to save it either, there are countless others! Don’t you think that it would be awful to see the Amazon Rainforest die? If you want to save the rainforest, then you can
can help by buying a part of the rainforest. Once you buy it, you can make sure that that part will not be harmed. You can also protest against restaurants that use rainforest meats and try to make them stop. You have the power! Even daily things in life can help; you can re-use paper and always recycle. Do what you can!
