People are cutting down the rain forests so people can have more space to build. Way back when, the Spanish came and were trying to kill all of the people in the Amazon; the people were dead but the plants and some animals were not. The trees were burnt to the ground and many animals did die but when the trees dies it was kind of like fertilization because the seeds fell and were planted in the ground. Over time the plants grew back and the animals came too. The Amazon was in full recovery until we came around and decided that we wanted more space to build. We are cutting down the Amazon also because scientists want to examine how it became the "Animal Kingdom."
