MICRO-ORGANISM FOREST DIVERSITY PROTECT MINING

PAPER HUMAN ARE NEGATIVE NATURAL

There ________________ many reasons why we need to ______________ our forests. They make the
landscape beautiful and they are home to great biological ______________. Forests contain 80% of all
the world’s biodiversity and are the natural habitat of animals, plants and _____________. In addition,
this diversity provides important ______________ resources that sustain our lives by releasing oxygen,
absorbing CO2, preventing soil erosion, conserving water and moderating temperatures.

Sadly, the growth of the ______________ population and our needs for housing, fuel, paper, food and
many other things have a ______________ impact on the forests of the world. According to FAO*, the
world loses 13 million hectares of ______________ every year. We need to support good practices that
protect and restore forests by reducing the demand for ______________, creating protected natural
reserves, controlling agricultural development, and stopping illegal ______________ and logging.
However, the most powerful way to achieve all these solutions is by educating people. We need to
understand that the exploitation of forests can bring immediate benefits now, but it will destroy
opportunities for future generations.

5. Responda las siguientes preguntas de acuerdo al texto y traduzcalo en el recuadro.

In recent years, climatic phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña have increased the lack
of water in several countries. Fog catchers are nets between two wooden poles that capture
water without polluting the environment. Scientists are starting to think that fog catchers
can help us collect water in an efficient way. They are especially effective in deserts,
mountain sand other places that have a lot of fog. In the Atacama Desert in Chile, fog
catchers are used for water supply and agriculture with wonderful results. A team of
engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is working to improve fog
catchers. Scientists believe that, because they are easy to assemble and effective, fog
catchers could become a globalized solution for water supply and agriculture all over the
world.
