Using the information in the graphic organizer, write a brief summary of the text below. (RI.5.2)“Saving an Important Resource” describes some of the problems caused by human activities in the rainforest and offers possible solutions. Activities like clear cutting, farming, building roads, and mining are destroying the plants and animals in the rainforest. We can solve this problem by reducing the human impact. Governments can set up natural preserves, and companies can log responsibly and replant the trees they cut down. Finally, we should only buy rainforest products like coffee, chocolate, products made from palm oil, and cashews from companies that are environmentally responsible. If we take these steps, we can help protect this valuable resource."
