The Rainforests are disappearing at an alarming rate of 20,000 acres per year! Companies are
cutting down trees, moving native peoples from their homes, destroying plants and flowers that
hold the cures for diseases. These plants grow only in these places in most cases. Help stop the
destruction... before we destroy the Earth.
