Rainforest Virtual Field Trip
Rainforests have been around for millions of years, and yet in the very brief span of half a century, mankind has destoyed a huge portion of the world's rainforests. On a daily basis, acres and acres more disappear. This field trip takes a look at what a rainforest is and why it is an important ecosystem, the animals and peoples of the rainforest, what types of rainforests there are, and provides some ideas that students can do to actively participate in protecting the remaining rainforests.
