Problem: According to recent estimates, roughly 80,000 acres of tropical rain forest are destroyed every day for commercial interests such as logging, energy production, agriculture and ranching. Another 80,000 acres are damaged daily to fuel the world's increasing demand for the products of these industries. Consider for a moment the tremendous loss of biodiversity incurred as tropical rain forests are depleted. Also consider the source of many medicinal products. Describe a plant that is threatened by rainforest destruction or a pharmaceutical product that was derived from the rainforest.
