Rainforests……the earth’s lungs……why are we destroying them?
As Australia’s sun rises the rainforests are happy to get the sunshine’s first rays
In the world rainforests used to cover 16% now only a mere 4%
Now say farewell to trees and us……for trees keep us alive with oxygen
Forests are often very damp and warm all the time
Or there is a chance………RIOT!! Riot to stop the the governments
Rainforests hold rare animals and plants, so why do we kill them?
Enter the rainforest with nothing and go out with nothing
Short sighted governments only look for their gain
The rain forests are rare……DON’T CHOP THEM DOWN!!!!
So many rainforests may never be the same again……I mean all of them!
