Rainforests are one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, containing millions of plant
and animal species. They play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide and producing
oxygen, which helps regulate the planet’s climate. However, deforestation, often caused
by agriculture and logging, has led to a significant loss of rainforest areas. As a result,
many species are at risk of extinction, and global warming is accelerating.
The Great Barrier Reef, located off the coast of Australia, is the largest coral reef system
in the world. It is home to thousands of marine species, including fish, turtles, and
sharks. Over the years, climate change and pollution have caused significant damage to
the reef, leading to coral bleaching. Scientists and environmentalists are working to
protect and restore the reef through conservation programs.
