Description
Tropical Rainforests such as those in the Amazon Basin, the Congo and Borneo are treasure troves of plants and animals. They also have a huge impact on our global atmosphere, and are seriously under threat. We examine what a tropical rainforest is, where they are located, and why they are important.
A 3 credit internal assignment is on offer (see below.) For those interested in the Large Natural Environment exam at the end of the year, you can choose a tropical rainforest as your focus. You will need to let Kate know if you are interested, do some extra research outside of class, and be prepared to write essays.
