Deforestation In The Congo Rainforest

Deforestation is terrible and The Congo Rainforest is in bad condition, and it needs our help. Deforestation is when people cut down trees for their resources and to replace the trees with diamond mines, coltan mines and coffee plantations. It's not good for the environment, nor the animals either, they are losing their homes and food, how would you feel if someone just came in your house and started to tear it down, you wouldn't like it would you? That is why you have to do something to stop deforestation.

Resources That Come From The Congo Rainforest

The resources that come from the Congo Rainforest are wood, oil and minerals such as diamonds, gold, coltan (used to make cell phones), and petroleum. These are all resources that come from the Congo Rainforest. Cell phones, just devices that we use in everyday life, right? Well actually yes, they are but no they're not, you might not understand what I'm saying but coltan the mineral that is used to make cell phones comes from the Congo Rainforest and that's not good.
