Living in the desert, not many of us can relate to life in a tropical rainforest.  But we don’t have to live there or even visit one to understand why they’re important to all of us and why it’s important to save them.

Prince Charles of Wales is launching a new internet campaign to help sign up the world in an effort to save the planet’s ranforests.  Well-known celebrities and unknown faces - with the help of a digitally created big green frog - are part of a video message showing their support for saving the myterious tropical habitats.  They’re asking for all of us to get on board by signing up in this global campaign of famous and just regular people - like you and me!

If you’re not familiar with what rainforests do, the trees help turn dangerous carbon dioxide into oxygen for the planet.  When they’re cut down, they release that carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - not to mention wiping out the home for hundreds of unknown native plants and animals that are vital to our eco-system.  Rainforests hold the keys to curing many worldwide illnesses that are yet undiscovered.   Read more about them and it may urge you to sign up.  The Prince of Wales will then take our show of support to world leaders to help convince them that saving such a critical part of our environment could make a huge differnce in controlling the world’s climate change.  Ribbit.
