This CAC original video production was filmed on
location in Costa Rica. The program begins by
introducing the viewer to the wonderful diversity of
life that exists in tropical rainforests. It covers
challenges to the preservation of forested areas that
exist in the modern world. It ends on an upbeat
assessment of the many positive steps that are being
taken in Costa Rica and elsewhere, and on the positive
things that students themselves can do in their own
lives to promote rainforest conservation.
