Synopsis

Aiming to encourage children to participate while they learn about environmental topics that are important to the future of the planet, this colouring book focuses on the animals, plants and habitats of the tropical forests of Central and South America. Half of the world's plant and animal species are found in rain forests - up to 50 different plant species may live on a single rain-forest tree. Yet half of the world's tropical forests have already been cut down, and more are being lost at the rate of 25 to 50 acres per minute. More than 200 species are included here, from air plants to the giant mahogany tree and from the flying Hercules beetle to the jaguar.
