3. Reading: Saving the Amazon
The Amazon rainforest is home to over 3 million species of plants and animals. It produces 20% of the world's oxygen and is vital for global climate. However, deforestation threatens this incredible ecosystem.
If we do not stop cutting down the Amazon, thousands of species will become extinct. The forest is like the lungs of our planet — if it disappears, our climate will change dramatically.
If I were a world leader, I would immediately ban all deforestation. I would invest in renewable energy so that people would not need to burn forests for fuel. If every country acted together, we could still save the Amazon.
