I look at the forest and I see the heart of our world. This is a place where life has began before mortal existence. One-third of the Earth's land is occupied by different types of forest. There are three main divisions: tropical, temperate, and boreal. Among the temperate and boreal forest lies many subdivisions. With the combination of all forest in one group scientist have predicted that they are accompanied by two-thirds of the world's plants and trees and approximately 70% of the animal species on Earth. Forests are considered to be the "lungs of our world" as well, they take in massive amounts of carbon dioxide that we people produce on an everyday basis and release over 75% of worlds oxygen we breathe. If these forest did not exist-we would not exist.
Hi Melissa - I'm checking out your blog. I love the visual images that you have displayed.
ReplyDeletePlease make sure that you are keeping your singular and plural nouns and adjectives straight.
In our Spanish book it says "Las selvas lluviosas son los pulmones de la tierra," which is equivalent to the "lungs of the world" concept.
