Not so long ago, most of the dry land on our planet was covered with forests. Today, most of these forests, as well as many of the plants and animals which used to live in them, have disappeared. What is more, they will continue to do so unless we start taking drastic measures to save them now, while we still have time.
The government could help by educating people about danger of forest fires. If they did this, forest fires wouldn’t destroy animals, trees or plants.
The government could also encourage people to buy only recycled paper. If they did this, the logging companies wouldn’t cut down so many trees for paper manufacturers.
The government could help by paying people to plant more trees. New forests would grow and people would earn money by helping the environment rather than destroying it.
Such measures would not only help our forests to survive, but also rare plants and animals which are only just surviving there today, The time has come to stop the destruction and begin the healing.
