The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world. It covers over nine million square kilometres across North Africa. The weather there can be very different in a day’s time. During the day,temperatures rise above 40℃,while nights can be very cold. It is one of the toughest（艰难的） environments on earth.
The Sahara is as big as Canada but has very few people. Less than two and a half million people live there and most of them are nomads.Nomads are people who have no permanent（固定的） homes.

The nomads of the Sahara are called Bedouin,which means “desert people” .They depend on goats,sheep,and camels for food and transport. Water is the most important for them. They need water to live,so they must carry enough water or know where to find it. Without water,life is impossible.
A desert is not defined（定义） by sand but by the lack of rain. To be a desert,a place must get less than 250 mm of rain each year.
Surprisingly,only 25% of the Sahara is covered in sand. The rest is rock and gravel（沙砾） .

A young boy is crying because his ear hurts. Then a man comes out of the forest. He carries some juice from a white fungus （蘑菇） .Carefully,he puts the juice into the boy’s ear. In some rainforest villages of South America,that’s how earaches are treated!
Rainforest doctors,called shamans,use many kinds of plants as medicines. They make tea from one type of red vine（藤蔓） .This tea cures stomachaches. Yellow flowers from another plant are used to treat snakebite.
Learning from the shamans
Today,scientists from all over the world want to learn what these shamans know about plant medicines. They are studying the rainforest before the plants disappear. However,the rainforests are disappearing fast. Sometimes they want to use the land for farming. Sometimes they cut down the trees and sell the wood.
Now the scientists travel by boat,air,and on foot to rainforest villages. Then they spend long hours making their way through the hot and humid jungle（丛林） with the local shamans. The shamans show the scientists which plants can be used as medicines.

wildlife.
More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough

Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year

The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world. It covers over nine million square kilometres across North Africa. The weather there can be very different in a day’s time. During the day,temperatures rise above 40℃,while nights can be very cold. It is one of the toughest（艰难的） environments on earth.
The Sahara is as big as Canada but has very few people. Less than two and a half million people live there and most of them are nomads.Nomads are people who have no permanent（固定的） homes.
They move from place to place,carrying everything they need to live. The nomads of the Sahara are called Bedouin,which means “desert people” .They depend on goats,sheep,and camels for food and transport. Water is the most important for them. They need water to live,so they must carry enough water or know where to find it. Without water,life is impossible.
A desert is not defined（定义） by sand but by the lack of rain. To be a desert,a place must get less than 250 mm of rain each year.
Surprisingly,only 25% of the Sahara is covered in sand. The rest is rock and gravel（沙砾） .
Long ago,the Sahara was covered in ice and later turned into grasslands. Over time,it became the desert we see today. Truly,the Sahara is a place of history and change.

A young boy is crying because his ear hurts. Then a man comes out of the forest. He carries some juice from a white fungus （蘑菇） .Carefully,he puts the juice into the boy’s ear. In some rainforest villages of South America,that’s how earaches are treated!
Rainforest doctors,called shamans,use many kinds of plants as medicines. They make tea from one type of red vine（藤蔓） .This tea cures stomachaches. Yellow flowers from another plant are used to treat snakebite.
Learning from the shamans
Today,scientists from all over the world want to learn what these shamans know about plant medicines. They are studying the rainforest before the plants disappear. However,the rainforests are disappearing fast. Sometimes they want to use the land for farming. Sometimes they cut down the trees and sell the wood.
Now the scientists travel by boat,air,and on foot to rainforest villages. Then they spend long hours making their way through the hot and humid jungle（丛林） with the local shamans. The shamans show the scientists which plants can be used as medicines.
▲
One US company has already found an important new medicine. It comes from a plant in the rainforest. This medicine may soon be used to cure lung infections in kids. Rainforest plants might cure many bad illnesses. So medicine companies are working to save the rainforest. When people buy medicines made from the rainforest plants,part of the money will go to help save the rainforest.
