train on longer journeys. This helps to reduce pollution

from cars. Governments can do things to help our planet
too, by controlling the way land is used. Every year, huge
areas of rainforests are cut down or burned to make
space for farms. This is bad because it destroys the
homes of the animals that live there. Some animals are
now endangered. That means there are only a few left,
and they could easily disappear. But governments can
help to stop this destruction by having land where
animals can live safely.
