Rain Forests And Alternative Medicine.

As more and more rain forests are being destroyed daily the true cost of these actions are now becoming clear.

With thousands of trees being cut down each day and plants being destroyed the effects on the world are frightening.

The loss of so many trees is considered to be a major factor in climatic weather changes and global warming, this in its self has to be of concern to us all, but what about the local tribes that live in these areas? their world has been turned upside down.

The animals and plants that they rely on for food are also disappearing at an alarming rate due to their loss of habitat, plants and trees that are used by these tribes for medicines to treat the sick are also being lost.

Many of the natural plants and trees found in the rain forests are being studied by the worlds scientists and doctors in their search for cures to diseases,with so many now being destroyed they are in a fight against time, many of these plants and trees are only found in the rain forests of the world.

Let us hope that the governments concerned will wake up to the fact that by destroying the rain forests they are condemning the next generation to a bleak future.

Two of the trees used in alternative medicine that are at risk (and there are many others) are listed below.

MUIRA PUAMA:This is a small tree found in the Brazilian rain forests.
