Ep 7. Rainforest Biomes

Located throughout the Caribbean, Africa and South America, rainforests are as important to the rest of the world as they are to their inhabitants. In Rainforest Biomes, students will discover how the species of the rainforest have adapted to the temperature and humidity, and why the threat of its destruction will have a far-reaching impact on our planet. A visit with an ecologist at the Caribbean National Forest in Puerto Rico examines the work underway to restore the population of the endangered Puerto Rican parrot, while a fun, hands-on investigation demonstrates the vital role that rainforests play in recycling water. One of eight volumes in the Biomes of the World in Action Video Series. Grades 5-8.
