How can you help save the rainforest?
There are many environmental pressures humans put on the Amazon rainforest. Today while we were in the Belen Market of Iquitos, we came face-to-face with many of the problems the rainforest and its plants and animals face. Visit the Trip Tracker section of our website to see photos from the Market!
Some of the problems we encountered today were: harvesting endangered animals for food, the illegal pet trade, deforestation, water and air pollution.
What do you think is the greatest problem the rainforest faces? What are some of the solutions? How does education play a role in saving the rainforest? What are some things you can do at home to help protect the rainforest?
Our time in Peru is running out. These are some big issues to discuss and we want to know what you think. Send us your responses!
