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.
