  or South America, you fly over forests for
  thousands of kilometres.These great forests are
  the oceans of trees.There are full of thousands
  and thousands of different kinds of plants and
  animals.
• However, the world's forests are getting smaller
  all the time.We are cutting down the trees
  because we need wood and we need more farm
  land.Some people say that there will not be any
  forests like these in 20 or 30 years.What will
  happen if they disappear?
• If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and
  animals will disappear from the world.In a lot of
  places the new farm land will soon look like the
  old deserts.Crops will not grow there.It will not
  rain very often, and the weather will get very
  hot.Perhaps the climate of the world will
  change.This will be dangerous for everyone in the
  world.That is why we must take care of our
  forests.
