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

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

 * 1) **Every second, about 1.5 acres of rain forest are lost. That is the size of a football field.**
