THE RAINFOREST

10 minutes

Subtitle: THE DECADE OF DESTRUCTION -- CLASSROOM VERSION series

6 video programs /10 -19 minutes each /Grades 6-12

Produced by Adrian Cowell

This program uses time-lapse and satellite photography as
dramatic visual aids to provide a basic understanding of the
mechanics of the world's largest rainforest. It shows clouds
forming at the Atlantic coastline and then drifting southwest over
the heart of the rainforest. It explains how 3/4 of the rain that
falls in the forest is caught by the trees and leaves, and is
pumped back into the sky again. It's a symbiotic process. Without
the trees there would be no clouds, and once the trees are cut
down the soil is impoverished and can grow few crops.
