Question 5.

a. Secondly, there need to be more police in the area preventing people from cutting down trees. A lot of the people who cut them down do it illegally. If they were more afraid of getting caught, they might stop.

c. Every day, thousands and thousands of trees are cut down in the Amazonian rainforest.

how can we save the rainforests from destruction?
