Yes!  I've read and loved both of them.  If Speak is the book I'm thinking of, it was also made into a Lifetime movie (which wasn't too bad) last year, I think.  Another book you may like is "The Only Alien on the Planet", by Kirsten Randle.  Have you read anything else by Francine Rivers?

I got the book out of the library just to have something to read.  I wasn't expecting much.  I stayed up until 4:00 a.m. reading, got a little sleep and finished the book at midnight.

Tropical and temperate rain forests have been subjected to heavy logging and agricultural clearance throughout the 20th century and the area covered by rainforests around the world is rapidly shrinking. It is estimated that the rainforest was reduced by about 58,000 km² annually in the 1990s. Rainforests used to cover 14% of the Earth's surface. This percentage is now down to 6% and it is estimated by some that the remaining natural rainforests could disappear within 40 years (mid-21st century). Biologists have estimated that large numbers of species are being driven to extinction, possibly more than 50,000 a year, due to the removal of habitat with destruction of the rain forests. Protection and regeneration of the rainforests is a key goal of many environmental charities and organisations, including EcologyFund and the Nature Conservancy.

Many of the largest forests are undiscovered. Scientists are discovering new species of plants, animals, and insects all the time. It's only a matter of time before a new disease is discovered that humans have not come upon in the forests yet.\n\nDeep areas of the oceans have yet to be discovered, too. In both cases the surface area so large it will still take years and years to compile enough data to know what is where.

Deforestation is the loss or continual degradation of forest habitat due to either natural or human related causes. Agriculture, urban sprawl, unsustainable forestry practices, mining, and petroleum exploration all contribute to human caused deforestation. Natural deforestation can be linked to tsunamis, forest fires, volcanic eruptions, glaciation and desertification. The effects of human related deforestation can be mitigated through environmentally sustainable practices that reduce permanent destruction of forests or even act to preserve and rehabilitate disrupted forestland.

deforestation. It is the only forest of its type in the world, and it is receding at an alarming rate. it used to span around the globe, and now is 1/3 its original size. Many animals use this as its only habitat. deforestation causes loss of animal habitat as well. This forest is similar to the rain forest, it can't be reproduced quickly. once it is gone another forest like it will be millions of years to recreate.

Must cultures' myths actually took place in real forests or just refered to generic forests; no made up names.  Since people seem to be focussing on written fiction instead, here's a short list of common made-up forests from AA Milne, L Frank Baum, JRR Tolkein, and Ian Livingstone.\n\nThe Hundred Acre Wood\nThe Great Forest (of Oz)\nThe Forest of Gugu\nBindbole Wood\nChetwood\nDimholt\nDrúadan Forest\nFangorn Forest\nFirien Wood\nLothlórien\nMirkwood\nThe Old Forest (on the Brandywine River)\nTrollshaws\nWoody End\nThe Forest of Doom\n\n\n\n(Sherwood Forest exists, by the way)

And it's not just the forest that suffers. Soya farmers often force indigenous peoples off their land before bringing in the bulldozers to clear and then burn the forest. The use of slaves to clear the land has also been reported.\n\nhttp://www.greenpeace.org.uk/forests/forests.cfm?ucidparam=20060307133001&CFID=4989237&CFTOKEN=73924303\n\nAmazon 'stealth' logging revealed\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4362760.stm\n\nDemand for Brazilian beef threatens rainforest\n\nhttp://www.scidev.net/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=readnews&itemid=1314&language=1\n\nAn acre of Brazilian rainforest is destroyed every nine seconds. \nIn Brazil there have been 90 distinct indigenous cultures that have become extinct this century. \n\nhttp://archive.greenpeace.org/comms/cbio/brazil.html\n\nThreats and Solutions\n\nhttp://www.greenpeace.org/usa/campaigns/forests/the-amazon-rainforest/threats-and-solutions\n\nAmazon Photos\n\nhttp://www.leslietaylor.net/gallery/gallery.htm\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.
