Text 1: The Mountain Gorilla

Mountain gorillas live high up in the misty cloud forests of Africa.

Today, dedicated park rangers and scientists work around the clock to protect the remaining forests so these gentle giants can survive.

• Question: What is the main reason mountain gorillas have lost much of their habitat?

People cutting down trees for farming and building roads./ Loss of habitat

Text 3: Earth's Green Lungs

Trees act like the lungs of our planet. Through a process called photosynthesis, they breathe in carbon dioxide from the air—which helps fight climate change—and breathe out the fresh oxygen that humans and animals need to survive. Without trees, our air would not be clean enough to breathe.

• Question: What do trees breathe out that humans and animals need to survive?

Oxygen

Text 4: Nature's Anchors

Trees do an incredible job of protecting the ground beneath our feet. Their deep, strong roots act like anchors, gripping the soil tightly. When heavy rains and strong winds hit, these roots hold the dirt in place, which prevents dangerous mudslides and stops the fertile soil from washing away.

• Question: How do a tree's roots prevent soil from washing away during heavy rains?

They act like anchors and grip the soil tightly to hold it in place.
