The Amazon Forest
The Amazon is often called the lungs of the earth and produces 20% of the world’s oxygen. For this reason, many people are trying to stop deforestation in the rainforest. Brazil, for example, is working hard to help the rainforest survive.
A few years ago, the Brazilian government put forward a plan called ARPA (Amazon Region Protected Areas). It had the support of many international agencies, including the World Bank, and the German Development Bank, KfW. The main aim was to build new areas of protected rainforest, maintain areas of the rainforest that hadn’t yet been destroyed, and stop deforestation. Deforestation contributes greatly to global warming because carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when trees get cut down and burned.
One of the first areas to be recognized as part of ARPA was the Tumucumaque Mountains National Park. It is 38,800 km2 and is the same size as Switzerland, a small country in Central Europe. It’s the world’s largest protected tropical national park, and the second largest national park. It is home to certain species of jaguar, eagle, and lizard, which can only survive in the rainforest. Many of these species are under threat from climate change and deforestation.
In order to work in the park, conservationists need
a reliable map. However, no map existed, and they
didn’t have enough knowledge to make one on their
own. They came up with the idea of involving local
tribes to help them, combining modern and ancient
methods to produce a map. The tribes learned to use
global positioning system handsets (GPS), in conjunction with their local knowledge of the area, which
included fishing and hunting grounds, and places of
historical or mythical importance. Aerial photos were
a 20useful aid in the process as well. This method of
map-making is now the key to the future of rainforests,
in Brazil and the rest of the world too.

Harry WON'T make up with William despite Diana statue unveiling as he 'can't afford to upset Meghan', biographer claims
1§ Despite the brother's united front at the unveiling of the statue honouring their late mother Princess Diana, Harry made a sharp exit after the ceremony.
2§ The pair seemed in sync as they tugged the green curtain draped over the touching artwork but he left just 20 minutes later after raising a glass of bubbly to Di.
3§ He dashed back to the US to be with his wife Meghan Markle, Archie, and newborn daughter Lilibet - which royal commentator Angela Levin suggested is because "he does what he's told."
4§ But the author isn't holding her breath for a reconciliation, as she told The Andrew Pierce Show, "I think whatever Harry decides Meghan will change it."
5§ "She will make it a negative thing to happen, and I don't see that there will be a long-term progress there.
6§ "I think there will be some nasty comments about it, perhaps William pulled the green cloth harder than Harry," Ms Levin joked.
7§ "Seriously, it is a very big thing, what Harry has done, said about William, the Royal Family, and his father, and the Queen."
8§ Prince Harry and Wills have not seen each other since Prince Philip's funeral in April and have been embroiled in a bitter feud about Harry's bombshell comments about the Royal's in interviews with chat show host Oprah.
9§ "You can't just brush over that. You can put a plaster on it for half __ hour but you can't really get rid of that unless there's a huge amount of conversations over a long period of time."
10§ "And Harry does what he's told," Ms Levin continued.
11§ "If Meghan tells him how __ make a statement, he'll make it, and that's it.
12§ "He can't afford now to upset Meghan because he would feel such a failure and a misery and she'd give him what for, really. I think there's no chance __ that."
13§ Diana's sons were seen laughing and joking on Thursday afternoon surrounded by their late mother's family in the Sunken Garden for the unveiling.
14§ The pair even mirrored each other's body language as they strolled in, before being welcomed by Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, their former private secretary, who is godfather to Prince George.
15§ Sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, the mastermind behind the bronze memorial said Diana "was an icon who touched the lives of people right around the world so it has been a privilege to work alongside Prince William and Prince Harry."
16§ Harry and William chose some of Diana's favourite flowers to be planted by the statue, including 100 forget-me-nots, 200 roses, 300 tulips and 500 lavender plants.

( ) The structure “wish you were” is usually used when the speaker believes it is hard or maybe impossible to achieve the goal.
( ) The verb BE is in the simple past, indicating a third conditional structure.
( ) If we changed the second “you” for “I,” the form “whish I was” would be accepted informally, while “whish I were” is desired in standard English.
The correct order of filling the parentheses, from top to bottom, is:
“I think I have had a very interesting life. I'm 73 now and I don't work anymore. I was in the army for 51 years. I retired when I was 69. I have been to so many countries that I can't remember all of them. I've been to Australia six or seven times and to South Africa three times. I have also been once to Russia but I didn't like it at all: much too cold for me! They say that love is the greatest thing and I agree. I've been married four times but never for more than five years. I don't think women really understand me! I've never been on television, but I've been on the radio once. It was a programme about life in the military about twenty years ago. I met the Prime Minister on the same day. Actually, I've met a lot of famous people: members of the royal family, famous politicians and also famous cinema and television personalities. I've never met the American President though which is a pity. Because I've travelled a lot, I've seen a lot of wonderful things and have also eaten and drunk some strange foods and drinks. I ate cat and rat in India and drank something called Mirto on a little island in Italy many years ago.”
