Question

The Green Challenge Have you ever heard of a plant called Madagascar Periwinkle? It is used to treat leukemia and Other serious diseases, but it may soon disappear because of intensive deforestation. In the last decades Madagascar has lost about 90 percent of its tropical forests. Tropical forests cover only two percent of the earth's surface, but 70% of all plants and animals live there. To provide land for farming, ranching and other activities, people have been cutting or burning down those forests. More than Half of the world's tropical forests have desappeared sinse the beginning of this century. In the Amazon, scientists estimate that na area of forest the size of a football field is destroyed every minte. The destruction of tropical forests. The extinction of animal and plant species. The pollution of soils, lakes, rivers, and seas. Air pollution. Acid rain. The threats to our environment are nothing new. Man's use (and abuse) of natural resouces has been in the newspapers for a long time, but in the last decades the human impact on the environment has been absolutely disastrous. Modern man has seen the world as something to conquer, dominate, and exploit. He has been treating the environment as an andless source of resources, a kind of Ali Baba's cave providing for all needs and all desires. So, what's next? Should we give up? Let it happen? The challenge is to find new ways to protect and preserve our environment. But we have been saying that for Years... It's time to stop cutting down forests and cut down deforestation instead!
