Beautiful blue butterflies fly from flower to flower, and birds fly in and out of the tall trees. Jaguars wait silently in the shadows, and above them monkeys play. And around you there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of different flowers, plants, and trees – coffee, oranges, bananas, rice, and others that we do not have names for yet. It is hot and wet – rain falls around you, and clouds hide the tops of the trees. Yes, the rainforest is a wonderful, strange place.
But it is a place in great danger too. Every day people cut down its great trees to make farms, roads, and towns. Come with us to the rainforest and meet its people, its animals, and its plants. Read about the people who want to protect the rainforest – and the people who want to sell it and destroy it.
Come with us to the rainforest – before it disappears for ever…
