The rain forest should be saved because they are homes to those monkey's with the Doc Holliday mustaches...I think they are called Emperor Tamarins. Also, three toed sloths, and possibly Bennett's Tree Kangaroos. The world is a much better place with animals as delightful as these. Without them we would all be very sad. At least I would. And so it would make me happy were we to save the rain forests and protect the homes of these wonderful animals.
More so than my personal affinity for the denizens of the deep jungle, the rainforests are essential to the health of mother earth. It is believed that the rainforests store over half of the whole world's watr supply! They act like a huge sponge, absorbing the worlds water and releasing it back into the environment. The trees also act as huge air filters for the planet.
The rainforests are also immensely important resources, So many medicinal discoveries are made in the rainforest...over 25% of our modern medicines originate from rain forest plants. I wonder how much more there is to be discovered.
Restoration of all species such as these majestically creatures is key in keeping the eco system at its most primal delicate balance. Every species has a role and every living plant and insect is impariitive in its role to restore ecological balance.
Today there are fewer than 250,000 indigenous people left in the Brazillian Amazons.

Food and Hunger chapter 9,,10
Food and Hunger
Indigenous people of the rainforest suffer on some level with hunger .
The homes of many tribal cultures these forests are consistently subjected to many exploitations.
although most native societies have been destroyed s is is estimated there are still more than 1,000 rainforest cultures that still exists today.
Right being disregarded these forests continue to be exploited for all its abundant resources. Tribes such as the Penans society which is a hunter-gatherer tribe in south-East Asia that number about 10,000. This tribe relys on fruits and vegetables of of the forest as well as many fungi wild greens and edible palms.
Preservation of the forest is a culturally embedded value passed along to generation after generation of the Indigenous people. Preservation of the forest is not a value of intrusive Governmental and Private entities that continue to take from the forest precious resources such as medicinal plants and organic food that provide for its habitat.

Animals that face a shortage of food in a rainforest do what is called estivate, which is similar to hibernation as a way to cope with food shortage. A continuous battle and competition for food many species adapt to their surroundings in a physical manner such as changing shape color or size to fit into their surroundings and example being stick insects which become the color and shape of surrounding aggregation.
Different species of the forests develop physically to adapt to their survival needs such as Tucan birds that have large, hard beaks to pick, grind and eat various types of leaves and shells. An important aspect of food competition in the rainforest environment is adaption of food consumption and survival techniques that will prevent you from becoming food.

Environmental Health and Toxicology and how it relates to the Rain Forest and other bodies of forestry.
The effect of rare species and plant life pollution can influence the products made depending on chemical imbalance of forestry.
There are other ways other than clear-cutting that can help to prevent further damage to large bodies of forestry. When the balance of the earths ecosystem is compromised there is also a shift in balance in other resources that may benefit the earth.
More effort should be put forth to preserve and protect all mass bodies of forestry. One way would be to pass laws that are stricter on protecting reserves and parks. There should be laws of restriction that prohibit clear-cutting without replanting so that all large forests are able to replenish themselves.
Products are used on a daily basis that come from rain forestry such as rubber coffee and lumber.
Coffee that is a natural bean can only be grown in a favorable environment. Due to chemical imbalance and pollution matter of the earth this is sometimes difficult and will affect the growth of coffee beans.
Toxic waste that will affect any of earths natural environment can also have an effect on the cost of products that are made from rainforest resources. As what we call the world biggest pharmacy there is a need for stricter laws and restrictions on pollution.
