The environmentalists want
slower, smarter rainforest
development. They want a
sustainable environment.
They want to conserve the
rainforest by saving it from
deforestation.
They feel they need to do
their work from examining
trees to finding new animals
without hurting nature.

Environmental groups argue
that all rainforest species have
a right to exist.
This means saving their
rainforest home.
Environmentalists therefore
want to slow down
development of the rainforest.
This would give the scientists
time to study the effects of
new activities.
