1. What is happening to the forests?

Dyah : So, tell me Ira, why is it important to save the forests?

Ira : There are some reasons. First, there are many plants which could be useful in
medicine grow in the forests. We don’t know all the plants, but there are thousand of them.
Researchers are trying to discover their secrets before they are destroyed.

Dyah : I see. What other reasons are there?

Ira : well, have you heard that the world is getting warmer?

Dyah : Do you mean what scientists call “global warming”?

Ira : That’s right. The forests have an effect on our weather. The forests are dissapearing
fast now and the people aren’t doing anything to save them.

Dyah : But we need the sun. The plants need the sun for the photosyntesis. Is global
warming a really serious problem?

Ira : You know that Earth has two poles and each of them has millions of tons of ice. If
they melt, the level of the sea will rise and cause great floods. Many scientists believe that
temperatures are already rising. We must do everything we can to prevent global warming,
and that includes to save the forests.
