Rainforests cover six per cent of the Earth’s surface. There are rainforests in many parts of the world
but the biggest forests are in South America, Africa and South East Asia. There aren’t any rainforests in
Europe or North America.
2. What’s in the rainforests?
About 75% of all the types of animals that we know come from rainforests. Thousands and thousands
of animals live in rainforests. There are many very beautiful birds, insects and reptiles. Many of them live
in the trees, more than 30 metres from the ground. There are also thousands of different plants-and lots of
tall trees! It is always hot in a rainforest and
the ground is always wet. It is also dark.
3. Why are the rainforests important?
The rainforests are very important for us. We need them! The trees
and other plants in the forest help to make the air that we breathe. They
give us wood, rubber, fruits and many of our medicines.

is nothing. People chopped down the trees because they wanted to grow rice. Many animals lived in the
rainforest. Some of them went to other parts of Java but many of them disappeared - forever. The same

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental proble
ms. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new ‘out of town’ shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about
￡100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over ￡1.00.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.
