Answer 1

Today, an environmental organization called Friends of the Earth is organizing a bike ride to raise money to save the Amazon rainforest. About 1000 people are taking part in this bike ride.

People who often take part in similar bike rides usually compete in 40-mile races. Some of them like trying something a bit more challenging and go on longer rides, crossing a number of countries.

One of the cyclists told us, "I'm doing this ride just because rainforests are disappearing as we speak due to trees being cut down. The environment is destroyed and this threatens all life on our planet. Unfortunately, not many people realize this, but I believe that taking part in this bike ride is one thing we can do to make people understand the problem."
