They eat the fruits on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy (破坏) them. When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too. In 1900, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest. In 1980, there were only 200,000. The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil. They have lived in the rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for medicine. But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and suddenly 45,000 people came to the forest and began looking for gold. They cut down the forest to make roads. They made more than a hundred airports. The Yanomami people lost land and food. Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers. The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who wanted gold were stronger. Many forest people try to save their forests.

A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes. In Borneo, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood.

She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see. Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same size as their small bodies as they escape from their homes in Baghdad. They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war and the terrible price paid by Iraqi children. “Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Singer, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son. He tries to make him feel safe by saying, “The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We’re going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows it isn’t always true, little else can be done.
