**Directions:**
==**Please use the following readings to write ten facts on the rain forest. I would like facts that pertain to the following categories: medicine,** inhabitants of the rain forest (plants or animals), products produced from the rain forest and people that live or work in the rain forest including cultures and tradition.==

**How does the destruction or abuse of the rain forest affect animals, plants or people?**

 * Use the following resources: The Great Kapok Tree (pg 364-377) and the three short stories. Please include pictures or videos in your findings.**


 * The destruction or abuse of the rain forest is horrible because when people cut down the rain forest there's more carbon dioxide in the air. We need the rain forest so scientists can study the new medicine from the rain forest. When they cut the trees the animals that live in the trees will have no place to live. The rain forest is home to 30 million species of plants and animals. Otherwise if we plant more trees and recycle we can save the enviorment. Some animals in the rain forest are a jaguar, anteater, woolly monkey, silky anteater, iguana,**
