HRH Prince of Wales

The prince of wales tells the viewers some astonishing facts about the rainforest and how that if you let it get cut down it will affect our lives in extraordinary ways

        I am writing to sum up the feelings of my tribe over the oil mining that is destroying our hunting grounds. We the believe that the ability for the miners to mine on our ancestral grounds should be revoked. From our perspective we have come up with very few pros of the mining, most of them include breaking our old traditional ways of living. Whereas the cons of oil mining are overwhelming in numbers. Here are just a few:

        Firstly the mining causes wide spread noise pollution, this is placing fear into our prey, depriving us of one of our main food sources. As I have just suggested we do have other food sources but they also are rapidly disappearing from physical pollution, water pollution. Every time there is a new oil spill at any one of many drilling sites, which is quite often, it causes great floods of poisonous oil into our fishing source, the problem so far has escalated to a point where we can no longer eat the few fish that remain in the water. Furthermore we are no longer able to drink from the great waters without fear of being poisoned.

        In addition to do any tests, let alone mining, you have to cut down hundreds of trees, including some rare species of trees, these are also the habitats for some rare species of animal. This is genocide!! For mining to happen you need to cut down irreplaceable trees, some of which have been on this planet longer than we have, these trees are being treated unfairly. They give us oxygen, they give us medicines, they give us food, they give prey the chance to live. Without these we could not survive, but what do we give them in return? We don't. We kill them. We mercilessly slaughter them. This is not acceptable!! In many religions it states god gave the earth to us so that we should have dominion over it. It very rarely states that he gave it to us to destroy. So why do we ignore these warnings? Why do we not heed them? Why do we still cut down trees?

        Please take these reasons into account and evict these cruel people from our beloved and worshiped rainforests.
