An existing rainforest

Trees are being cut down

Tree trunks are sawn into timber

A common sight after deforestation

Landscape is destroyedand barren

Poor us!We lost

our homeforever….

Rainforest about the size of Singapore is being destroyed

everyday throughout the world

Every two and half minutesone rainforest specie becomes extinct or

endangered

Rainforest is important to us• All living things depend on rainforest

for food, air and water• Absorb carbon dioxide and emit

oxygen into the atmosphere• Help to cool the Earth• Reduce unusual weather conditions

that cause droughts and floods

WE CAN HELP TO SAVE

and non-paper learning resources
