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. It is important for us to save the tropical rain forests. Once a tropical rain forests is destroyed, it will take hundreds of years before the forest can be re-established. 46.
