Rainforests, once covering 14% of the Earth's surface, now only cover 7% due to deforestation for various resources. This loss threatens millions of species. Additionally, acid rain, caused by industrial pollution, harms ecosystems and structures. Animal cruelty is also a significant issue, with millions suffering each year due to various human activities.
- Rainforests have decreased from 14% to 7% of the Earth's surface since 1900.
- Deforestation leads to the extinction of over a million species by 2030.
- Acid rain is a major pollution problem in Europe and North America, harming fish, trees, and buildings.
- Animals are killed for research, sport, fur, and due to environmental threats, with many kept in cruel conditions.

Today they cover 7%. They have been cut down for land, paper, wood, medicines, minerals and fuel. But it is not only trees, which are disappearing. Every rainforest also contains millions of animals, insect and flowers. These are destroyed too. If man continues to cut down rainforests, more than million species of plants and animals will become extinct by the year 2030.
Acid rain One of Europe and North America’s most serious pollution problems is acid rain. What happened is this. First, factories send gases and chemicals into the air. There they mix and are carried for hundreds of miles by the wind. Finally, they fall back to earth when it rains. This ‘acid rain’ kills fish and trees. It slowly destroys buildings too.
Animals Animals are the part of environment too. Millions of them are killed or treated cruelly by man every year. There are five main groups. 1.Animals used scientific research (rabbits) 2.Animals killed for sport (foxes) 3.Animals killed for their fur or skin (crocodiles) 4.Animals in danger, because their environment is in danger (gorillas) 5.Animals kept in cruel conditions on farm (some kinds of chickens and cows)
I think Presov is very polluted. People should give dirt to baskets and they shouldn’t let dirt in streets. It’s ugly and it doesn’t prosper to our Earth. People contravene ozone layer and it is bad for our skin and eyes. So people are hamfulling only for people. We shouldn’t do this….
