What’s the number? Look at the following numbers and decide which statistic they are linked to on your worksheet…

Dominoes One of the most serious problems facing the Amazon rainforest is the destruction of its trees. This is called deforestation and it can add to climate change. It also destroys the homes of many animals so can lead to them becoming extinct.

Dominoes We are going to tell each other about some of the problems which people in the Amazon face and match them to the solutions which Sky and WWF are trying to find to these problems. © Simon Rawles / WWF-UK

Dominoes If you have a card look at it and see if the left hand side sounds like a solution to this problem. If it does, then read out the solution….

Dominoes The Amazon’s trees and plants hold lots of nutrients. And farmers clear and burn forest to grow crops. But, once the trees are gone, the soil in the Amazon quickly becomes poor in nutrients and many farmers burn down more forest so that they have fresh, fertile land to farm. © Simon Rawles / WWF-UK

Thumbometer We are going to look at some statements about the Amazon rainforest and I want you all to use your thumbs to show whether you agree or disagree… © Greg Armfield / WWF-UK

Thumbometer Thumbs up if you agree Thumbs down if you disagree In the middle if you aren’t sure

Thumbometer The Amazon is an amazing place. © Zig Koch / WWF

Thumbometer There are so many different species in the Amazon that it doesn’t matter if one or two become extinct.

Thumbometer It is important to give people alternatives to clearing more rainforest. © Per Anders Pettersson

Thumbometer The only people who can make a difference to how the Amazon rainforest is used are the people that live there. © Simon Rawles / WWF-UK

Thumbometer The people that live in the Amazon do not own the land so the government should be able to take it off them whenever they want. © R.Isotti, A.Cambone - Homo Ambiens - WWF-Canon

Thumbometer It is more important to grow cheap food for people and farm animals than it is to preserve the trees in the Amazon rainforest. (c) Simon Rawles / WWF-UK

Thumbometer It is important that we protect the homes of indigenous tribes who have lived in the Amazon for thousands of years. (c) Zig Koch / WWF

Thumbometer Preventing climate change in the future by keeping trees standing is more important than making money by cutting them down now. (c) Greg Armfield / WWF-UK
