rainforests!

Kinkajous are one of many animals living (and suffering) in the rain forests in Central and South America. These rainforests are being cut down for timber and farmland.

"Every year, an area of the rainforest the size of New Jersey
is cut down and destroyed. The plants and animals that used to live in these forests either die or must find a new forest to call their home."
