Forests cover nearly a third of all land on Earth. Here are three main reasons why forests are so important. Firstly, they are home to various species, including millions of humans. Forests, especially tropical rainforests, provide organic living habitats for nearly half of the world's land-based species of animals, plants, and insects. About three hundred million people live in forests worldwide, of whom about sixty million depend almost entirely on native woodlands. Many millions more live along or near forest fringes. Secondly, forests keep us cool. Trees create vital oases of shade on the ground and help buildings stay cool. This reduces the need for electric fans or air conditioners. Large forests can regulate temperatures in regions, including cities. Trees and forests also have another way to beat the heat: they remove much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This helps fight climate change. Finally, they prevent flooding and soil erosion. Forests absorb much of rainwater and slow down its fast flow. This helps prevent soil erosion as well as protect surrounding communities from landslides and floods. (Nguồn: Sách Bài tập phát triển năng lực tiếng Anh 9) Question 28.
