Anita Ganery: Swarming rainforest

The Secrets of Tropical Rainforests, Where Wonderful and Unique Wildlife Swarm. Rainforests, primarily distributed in tropical regions near the equator, once covered about one-third of the Earth. However, they now account for a mere 6%, and even this is gradually disappearing. This book encourages readers to reflect on the environmental issues facing these increasingly destroyed rainforests, alongside fascinating stories about them. It not only explores the history of the rainforest—including when it originated and what it looked like before it was created, filled with sweltering heat, damp humidity, annoying swarms of flies, and tangled green vines—but also introduces stories of the diverse animals that inhabit it, such as giant anacondas, eerie hairy spiders, and terrifying vampire bats. Furthermore, it presents simple experiments to experience the hot and sticky rainforest firsthand, the truth behind the rubber tree seeds that caused a global sensation, and the vivid adventures of explorers who ventured into the jungle. In particular, we look into the lives of indigenous people living in the rainforests of Brazil, examine the climate change brought about by the forest crisis caused by indiscriminate development, and explore the ongoing efforts to protect tropical rainforests.
