Butterflies

People are like butterflies only treated in different ways. Butterflies and humans all have dull outsides. Some people are fat, ugly or old. It is because of these traits that some people are ignored. We need to treat people as Butterflies. Even though a butterfly is dull and brown on the outside, we wait for it to open up and show what it is on the inside. We treat people in a different manner by just walking away when they look dull. That is a bad idea. You don't know what lies under the wings of an ordinary person unless you look. For some butterflies it takes more effort to see their true beauty but the wait is worth it. We are all different shapes and sizes and we should marvel each others differences as we do the butterflies. We come from all over, have many different colors but are all under one name, Human. People are butterflies, beautiful in their own, unique way.

Rainforests~ The Beautiful and Diverse

Our Rain forest
Malaysia

Borneo is the home to many of the rarest most beautiful flora and fauna that our planet has to offer. But, all of the extra construction work, commercialization and economical progress it is wearing away. Many species homes are becoming endangered and are having their homes destroyed by the ever-chopping axes, hacking away at the palm trees as though they were in plentiful abundance. We are not thinking about how our actions are affecting the rain forest biomes of Earth, that is why many people all over the world are going "green" to help save the environment.

Rain forest biomes are very hot and humid areas, normally found along the equator. They are very rich in biodiversity. There are many communities with large populations of species linked with others inside. For example; A Tamarind (above) monkey, native to the trees of The Amazon, relies on a tree to get it's food. The tree is not just used for the fruit or leaves, but in the crevices in the bark, a bunch of 'roaches or ants may be a delicious smorgasbord for a hungry monkey. Living things depend on one another for their survival. Suppose we cut down the last of the species of tree that the Tamarind finds it's food, it would starve to death. Now suppose we cut down and caused a handful of trees to go extinct. Many more species of plant and animal that rely on those trees would die out and there would be a domino effect. We cannot just protect one species of animal without thinking of the others that they impact and rely on. We need to conserve the Earth and clean it for our future generation.

*Quick fact*

There are only 1,500 Tamarinds left in the wild whilst roughly 450 live in zoos worldwide.
