How we can stop deforestation?
  • To teach all children about deforestation so they can help us stop it to.
  • If we start cutting down even more trees there will not be much oxygen in atmosphere.
  • trees are habitat to many animals and food.
  • We use trees for fuel timber and many other products.




Deforestation 
Definition:The cutting down and removal of all or most of the trees in a forested area.



There are many problems in the rainforest but I believe the major problem is deforestation.It is sad when you think about deforestation it is like a mother losing its baby you see the country is the mother and the tree is the baby.

Rainforest Plants
There are so many types of different plants in the rainforest.So many I can't even count them.
The plants are amazing ,they give they give most animals shelter and food. 

 There is so many types ,but there is 4 main plants:
  1. epiphyte
  2. trees
  3. orchid
  4. strangler fig
These as I said before help our rainforest. In fact there would not be a rainforest if there was no plants because all the animals would leave the rainforest as there would be no food for them.


Epiphyte
 The plant epiphyte is a plant that usually grows on a other plant that is why it is commen in the rainforest because there is so many plants it can grow on.

Trees 
Trees are very important in our daily life becaues they give us oxygen and are also homes to many animals .Trees have exsisted  for over 400 million years and are the world's largest living creatures.

Orchid
An orchid is flower which is divied into six diffrent section .There are over 20,000 known species .


Strangler Fig

The strangler fig tree starts life in the canopy as a small seed it is diffrent to most trees becaues they start on the forest floor.
