Rainforest Slideshow!

The soil in the rainforest doesn't have a lot of nutrients or vitamins in it, so once you cut it down to grow things, nothing will grow after a few years, and then the rainforest that once used to be so green and beautiful turns into a desert wasteland like this.

Once a rainforest is destroyed, it can't grow back. Remember, rainforest took a really long time to evolve into what they are today, so it's not as simple as planting a few seeds and having all the different trees, animals, plants and insects come back to make the rainforest what it is.
