· What is happening to the rainforest in this area and why?
· Who are the different people and organisations involved and what role does society have in solving the problem?
· Whose side are you on? Explain your decision

There are plenty of others in Spanish but please try and stay with the English sites as this will improve your English. Some websites will contain a lot of detail and some difficult language but please try and your best and be patience.
You must provide a bibliography on the final page. This is where you will list all your resources. Try and find sources that are recent and not old. Also do not just rely on the Internet since National Geographic in the library will contain information as well as guide books such as Lonely Planet.
