Live from the Rainforest
"Rainforests are living emeralds which adorn our world with rare beauty and natural wonders. They are a product of planetary processes and are, in turn, contributors to the water and carbon cycles on which all life depends. You’ll find an introduction to rainforests under GeoSystems, a guide to animal and plant life under EcoSystems, and games to play listed under Interact. My favorite game is "Who am I? Where do I live?" Can you guess the rainforest animal, based on the clues?"
