2- The tropical rain forests are a delight to people who love nature. The forests are beautiful woodlands which receive
plenty of rain.
Many natural resources can be derived from tropical rain forests. Such natural resources are fruits, vegetables and rare
herbs. Sometimes, the rain forests are cleared for valuable timber. Hardwood like teak, mahogany and rosewood are some of the
popular timbers that are exported. These woods are then used to make houses and furniture.
Nowadays, tropical rain forests are in danger of extinction. Each year millions of acres of rain forests are cleared to make
way for population growth and agriculture. This results in the destruction of millions of plants. In turn, this destruction causes
some types of animals to lose their natural habitat. Because of this, many species of plants and animals are becoming extinct.
