Protecting the Rainforest is essential for many different reasons. For instance, dozens of different kinds of species live in it; the Rainforest is their only world. not only that, but the Natives also heavily depend on that stretch of land. they all deserve to have their land protected and preserved. there's so many different ways we can safely use the Amazon Rainforest, so why cut it down and destroy one of nature's most beautiful treasures?

The Amazon Rainforest consists of a huge stretch of land in Latin America filled with trees and tropical animals that call the forest their home. along with that, the forest poises home to the Native Amazonians, people who have lived in the forest and have been living off the resources they have for fifteen-thousand years.

however, settlers and humanity in general are threatening the long term survival of the rain forest. not only that, but our behavior threatens extinction on the animals that live here, considering they—and the Natives—need that land to survive.
