Blog 12: The lives that are effected

            Welcome back readers.  Tonight we are going to be touch on the subjects that are being effected because of all the trees that we are taking away.  Animals have homes in some trees and forests.  The trees are there to protect them and guard them from the world around them.  They are a huge part in their lives.  I know that if someone were to come by and just take my home away from me and destroy it I would be pretty shaken up about it and I would not like it at all.  The same goes for you guys too I would imagine. 

            If you really think about it there are so many different types of animals that loose their homes because they live in trees.  You have birds, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, probably some snakes or frogs, and all the insects along with many more not mentioned.  It is not just animals that loose something when we cut down these trees.  Up to 28,000 species are expected to become extinct by the next quarter of the century due to deforestation.  That’s 28,000 types of possibly really cool animals that the world will stop knowing about and just not even care about.  So many lives that will be lost within a very short amount of time.  That is the scary part of it al, well for me it is.  The world is so big and we probably haven’t even started seeing any of it and then you hear facts like that and you see it happening everyday that it makes you wonder what the next generations are going to do about it and how everything will be effected from that.  It is mid blowing to think about animals or even people getting extinct and how we have such a huge part in it and how we don’t really do anything to stop it from happening.

Did you know that there are more than 121 natural remedies in rainforests that can be used as medicine?  That is 121 options to get better and help those that are sick.  Also that are NATURAL and probably not found anywhere else.  Those are chances that people have that could help save them.  Just something to think about the next time you think about recycling but don’t or the next time you go a print something and use all that paper.  It’s the little things that can make the big difference in the long run! 

Until next week readers!
