About this book
This block investigates the richest storehouse of the world's biological diversity. You will develop an understanding of the environmental science of tropical forests by exploring their role in global carbon and water cycles, and also as a genetic storehouse. While scientists only visit these forests, you will also make contact with indigenous communities who live there trying to secure the future of their forest home. Block 4 will discuss how your own daily choices as a consumer connect to the fate of what has been called'the Earth's lungs'.Unfortunately due to copyright restrictions the DVD material refered to in this book is not available for sale as a result study of some of the activities is limited.
