9．Is there anything we can do about protecting the environment？Let's discuss how to protect it．
     Many organizations，at a local，national and international level，devote to protecting the environment．Together they form the"green movement"．These groups already enjoy a lot of public support，but their most important work is education．Unless people understand how threats to the environment affect them，they won't know the importance of protecting habitats．
      Many farmers support the"green movement"．Some make an effort to protect small areas of wood lands and are careful not to spray these areas with pesticide．A few have turned their backs on modern methods and use no chemicals at all．
      Farming without chemicals is known as organic farming．In several countries，organic products have become very popular．Because no chemicals are used to grow the food，there are none to enter the human food chain．By choosing organic products，people think they are also choosing to save the countryside．
      In the developing countries，action is finally being taken to save the rain forests by the governments．In Africa，the Ivory Coast recently banned all timer exports．In central America，the government of Panama made it illegal to cut down trees which are more than five years old．Such actions show great determination because timer exports have been a major source of income．
      It is difficult to persuade poor people in developing countries of the importance of saving forests．They need more food and want to use farmland to grow it on．What we risk losing is not only the enjoyment of nature，but also the contribution of life on this planet．
