Today I read a newspaper article about the Congo rainforest in Africa.
Did you know that researchers discovered lots of carbon stored in the rainforest?
The decision is to protect this rainforest because this is important to the fight against climate change right?
Wrong, well sort of. Let me explain.
Loggers come in and tear down the rainforest for wealth. No matter how much the people of the Congo try to stop them, they can’t. They do not have enough money.
This just makes it so the loggers can keep tearing down these trees.
If we don’t do something soon, climate change could get much worse.
