The amazon rainforest is the biggest rainforest on the earth. It is home to many species of animals and plants. There are quite a few groups that harm the rainforest, like loggers for example. Loggers cut down hundreds of trees in the amazon rainforest, to use for wood products. The group I will be talking about in this essay are environmentalists. They protect the rainforest and promote preserving it. Environmental groups arrived in the rainforest in the 1970’s. Some environmentalists are scientists who came to the rainforest to find plants that could possibly cure diseases. Others came to study animals and some came to work with native people. There are some from environmental groups that live in the rainforest, but really they live everywhere!
