Rainforests

My oldest, the one I am homeschooling, read about extinction. Here is her summary:
"A lot of animals and plants are being extinct. Every year 27,000 acres of tropical rainforests are cut down or burned.  In 1995, it was estimated that in 2000, 80 percent of rainforest will be gone and the plants and animals will be extinct. Now it is 2012, so probably 95 percent is gone or almost gone. One of the rainforests was cut down to be used to mine tin. Everyday at lease 3 of the species are gone.  I think the extinction needs to stop. So my sister and I are going to make posters and hang them up so we can stop the extinction with plants and animals."
For this being her first homeschool report. I do have some critiques for her. Like, why there isn't any new starting paragraphs? How will you stop extinction through posters? What are some updated information of 2012 you can find out about extinction? I will repost her responses here when we get to it. For now its math time...
