Passage 3

The Amazon rainforest, often called the “lungs of the Earth,” produces about 20% of the world’s oxygen. It is home to millions of species of plants, animals, and insects, many of which are not found anywhere else. Unfortunately, deforestation caused by logging, farming, and mining is destroying large sections of the forest each year. Scientists warn that continued destruction could harm global climate and reduce biodiversity.
