even more in others, the knowledgeable have to send out a universal message of how important and necessary the tropical rain forests are.Before I thoroughly researched this topic, I thought that I had a fairly good concept of what tropical rain forests were. I thought this simply because I have learned about them ever since my first geology/history class in elementary school. I never thought that there was such a mystery lurking behind the outside wall of the standing timber. As I began my research, I was constantly shocked by information that was left out of lesson plans in my past education. I had heard rumors of the miraculous cures for deadly diseases that supposedly dwelled in the midst of the rain forests. However, I didn’t know for sure until I discovered such information in well creditable sources. It disgusted me to visualize the well-educated people of our country, from anyone like cattle ranchers to government officials, are participating in the destruction of our precious rain forests. Whether they are chopping down trees with their bare hands, or given their permission for others to do so, they are all still contributing to this devastating destruction. The only remedy that I can think of is further, more restrictive laws that protect these lands from the greedy hands of such individuals. Knowing what I now know, I can’t imagine how our lives would be without the rain forests. The delicate balance of every aspect of the earth would be off. Starting from the middle of our planet, the equator, and extending to both poles, earth would suffer immeasurably. Hopefully, the caring individuals who are left, will be able to educate the ignorant as to why these forests are so valuable and how we could not live without them. Education and realization are the building blocks to ending this irresponsible destruction. Everyone can and should join together to secure a promising future for Planet Earth. Tropica...
