Classroom Rainforest
Tropical Rainforests - "There exists a world as lush and exotic as
any that has flourieshed on earth - where the air is thick mist, where
tree frogs sing, where fish walk onto land and flowers bloom as big as
fruit trees. They cover scarcely 6 percent of the earth, yet tropical
rainforests are home to half of all the living things on our planet.
But
that home now is being destroyed faster than any other natural community
on earth...If there is no change, by the end of this century, the new area
of rainforest destroyed will be as big as one-third of the continental
United States, and destroyed with it, up to 20 percent of all life on
earth."

it.
