The Rain Forest: Why Should We Care?

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Man's unrelenting progress as a species has rendered irreparable harm to the environment around him; one of the most impacting of all situations to arise from this persistent quest toward human progress is the detrimental condition such efforts have imposed upon the world's rain forests. Inasmuch as "the reasons for the unprecedented depletion of tropical forests are numerous and very complex" (Didia 477), time is of the essence if preservation efforts are going to work. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
