Our Rain forest
Malaysia
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.
