Topical rainforest is one of the biomes on earth which covers 6% of the land surface. More than 50% of all the world's plant and animal species live there. On one tree in Peru Amazon, the number of ant species is 43, which is equivalent to the species of ants found in Britain. Tropical rainforests produce 40% of earth's oxygen, soak in carbon dioxide, and help to maintain global weather patterns and precipitation. However, due to human impact, tropical rainforest is disappearing at an astonishing speed. The most severe threat to the rainforest is human intervention for timber, grazing land and agriculture. From year 1990 to 2000, 142,000 km2 of tropical rainforests had been lost, which is equivalent to 5000-8000 m2 every minute of trees being cut. If this goes on, rainforests would disappear in 40 years. We have to stop destroying forests and depriving animal's home.----:----:----:----:----:----:----:----:----:----:----:----:----:----:----:----:--
I am working on making a series of posts on my IE homepage, Xanga. Due to over deforest, many animals have lost their places to live. Therefore my sticky message will begin with the presentation of a picture, titled "Where is our home?". I posted my research and visual picture on Xanga as above.

interesting write up, yes we have to protect our forest !
Thank for this update Taketei! For these ongoing posts on your IE there is no need to post again here the actual content you are developing on your IE homepage. Here instead you can post about the changes in your ideas and thinking, why you did what you did, your plans for future work, and how social software is contributing to your work, etc. Hope that helps! Owen.
