    2) Read the questions and find the answers in the text.

    They are also important because the huge number of plants and trees there provide oxygen (O2) through a process called photosynthesis, and help to regulate the world's climate and atmosphere. This is why the rainforests are often referred to as the ‛lungs' of the Earth.

    This is called deforestation. Trees are cut down for materials such as wood and paper, and the use of farming land and crops such as soya and palm oil. Soya is used as human food and animal feed. Palm oil is used to process food, and as a bio-fuel alternative to petrol and diesel.

    The following steps can be abbreviated as TREES:
    • Teach others about the importance of the environment and how they can help to save rainforests.
    • Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees on land where forests have been cut down.
    • Encourage people to live in a way that doesn't hurt the environment.
    • Establish parks to protect rainforests and wildlife.
    • Support companies that operate in ways that minimize damage to the environment.
