Every day 2,500 hectares of rainforest and one animal or plant variety disappear from the tropics because Third World countries need the income from tropical hardwood. Few people realise that the rainforest provides all kinds of raw materials for e.g. medicines. The inhabitants may be able to save the rainforests with the income from those medicines.
