Beautiful blue butterflies fly from flower to flower, and birds fly in and out of the tall trees. Jaguars wait silently in the shadows, and above them monkeys play. And around you there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of different flowers, plants, and trees – coffee, oranges, bananas, rice, and others that we do not have names for yet. It is hot and wet – rain falls around you, and clouds hide the tops of the trees. Yes, the rainforest is a wonderful, strange place.
But it is a place in great danger too. Every day people cut down its great trees to make farms, roads, and towns. Come with us to the rainforest and meet its people, its animals, and its plants. Read about the people who want to protect the rainforest – and the people who want to sell it and destroy it.
Come with us to the rainforest – before it disappears for ever…
美麗的藍(lán)蝴蝶在花間飛舞，鳥兒往返于高大的樹林。美洲豹潛伏在暗處，而頭頂上方猴子在嬉鬧。在你周圍是數(shù)百種，或許數(shù)千種形形色色的花草樹木—— 咖啡樹、橙子樹、香蕉樹、水稻，還有一些我們至今叫不上名字。雨林里炎熱又潮濕，四處都在下雨，樹冠隱身于云霧中。是啊，雨林是個多么神奇的地方。
然而，雨林的生存也遭到了極大的威脅。這里每天都有參天大樹被砍伐，用于修建農(nóng)場、道路和城鎮(zhèn)。與我們一同走進(jìn)雨林，去認(rèn)識生活在雨林里的人和動物，還有生長在雨林里的植物吧。在這本書里你將了解到，有人致力于保護(hù)雨林，也有人企圖售賣和摧毀雨林。
與我們一同走進(jìn)雨林吧，趁雨林永遠(yuǎn)消失以前……
