Rainforests

It is hard to keep yourself in tuned, and concerned, with the rainforests around the world because they are not something that you have direct contact with. I know that if something is not right in front of me I usually will not think about it. I guess it is like that saying, 'out of sight, out of mind'. While this is true, rainforests might be out of sight and out of mind, they are still affecting us daily because they are a part of the planet we live on, therefore they are important to us and do affect us.
Rainforests are the homes of many plants and animals, and as these rainforests disappear so do the inhabitants within them. "Tropical rainforests have a greater diversity of plants and animals than temperate rainforests or any other biome". Along with the animals and plants that they hold, rainforests regulate clean water. Clean water is definitely something that people and basically every other living thing on Earth needs to survive. The fact the clean water is a result of rainforests should be enough motivation to make people more concerned about them.
