Tropical rain forests
The rainforest as a source of drugsTropical rain forests are called the 'world's largest pharmacy' because of the large amount of natural medicines discovered there. Nearly half of the medicines that we use come from the rainforests. For example, rain forests are responsible for containing the "basic ingredients of birth control hormones, stimulants, and tranquilizing drugs" (Banks 36). Curare (a paralyzing drug) and Quinine (a malaria cure) are also found there. Scientists believe that the cures for many more diseases will be discovered there in the future. |

Illegal logging is logging in national parks and other protected
areas without government authorization, or where such authorization
was obtained by bribery. Illegally logged timber is often
transhipped through other countries to avoid checks and controls. It is commonly assumed that illegal logging in poorer countries takes place in response to high demand for exotic woods in richer countries. The term is sometimes used by environmentalists to describe logging operations that government agencies have authorized, on the grounds that the decision-making officials represent industry interests above all else. The tree species has often been misrepresented and the source incorrectly documented in the knowledge that it is usually very difficult for those in authority to successfully challenge and ascertain the facts |
