What is happening to the rainforest? The thing that is happening is that people are starting to cut down trees and they are hunting the animals there. This is not good because if there are no trees some animals don’t have any place to live which means that they might get eaten or they will starve to death because their food is on the trees.
What will happen if we don’t stop this? This is what will happen: there will be no animals left because either they have been eaten by another animal or they have starved to death. This is also what will happen: there will be no trees left so birds monkeys and bugs will have no home to live in.
Which are the animals that live there? • There are lots of different kinds of monkeys. There are small monkeys and big monkeys. It is true and sad that some monkeys that live there are captured. • There are also a lot of Sloth’s and Anteaters. • There is also of course lot’s of birds. Some are Macaws, Parrots and Toucans. There are also some Harpy Eagles. • http://www.junglephotos.com/amazon/amhome.shtml

Which are the plants that live there? • There are Caster Beans which are used for a very special medicine and nothing else because they are very poisonous so they only use it for really special medicines. • There are also Buttercups which is also used for medicine.
