Kratts Creatures 9 - Rain Forests- Under the Canopy (1_3)

llison has to give a report about rain forests at school. Chris and Martin help out by showing her what the rain forests are really like from an insider's perspective. In Costa Rica, they find tapirs, sloths, monkeys and dozens of fascinating creatures, including leaf-cutter ants who grow their own food in huge underground gardens. But the guys have a few problems along the way, slipping down a mud slide and getting chased up a tree by white-lipped peccaries, the wild pigs of the forest. By the time Allison is ready to give her report, she understands why rain forest preservation is critical to the survival of the planet, and to all those amazing creatures we met in the wild.

what about temperate rain forest?

What people don't realize is the danger that farming, agriculture, logging and building this is having on this complex ecosystem. Like Al said "they are the lungs of the planet, and less then half of the 8 million acres of rain forest is left today". Now with this in mind humans have GOT TO STOP THESE PRACTICES, before we completely destroy this fragile ecosystem. If this isn't stopped RIGHT NOW, how are our children, grandchildren, and future generations going to enjoy this wonderful world?!
