indigenous<br />
tribe<br />
I make my money by extracting rubber<br />
from the trees and selling it on. Rubber<br />
tapping doesn’t harm the forest and this<br />
makes me happy. But it’s hard work and<br />
it’s difficult to earn much money this way.<br />
My people have lived in the forest for<br />
thousands of years and our way of life<br />
depends on the plants and animals<br />
that live around us. Many of these are<br />
becoming extinct as people are destroying<br />
the forest to grow crops and feed cattle.<br />

For me the best way to make money is<br />
by farming cattle but I need lots of land<br />
for this. The rainforest doesn’t belong to<br />
anyone so nobody will mind if I burn down<br />
a little bit.<br />
The trees in the Amazon absorb a huge<br />
amount of carbon dioxide so they help<br />
to limit climate change. I want to make<br />
sure that the forest is not destroyed<br />
as otherwise it could lead to serious<br />
problems for the whole world!<br />
