HOW CAN WE SAVE RAINFORESTS?

Rainforests are disappearing very quickly. The good news is there are a lot of people who want to save rainforests. The bad news is that saving rainforests is not going to be easy. It will take the efforts of many people working together in order to ensure that rainforests and their wildlife will survive for your children to appreciate, enjoy, and benefit from. 

Some steps for saving rainforests and, on a broader scale, ecosystems around the world can be abbreviated as TREES:

• Teach others about the importance of the environment and how they can help 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
