Not only do these fascinating ecosystems thrive in rainy regions, they create rain themselves, and this moisture is spread around the globe. Rainforests across the world have a powerful and concrete impact, reaching as far as America's Great Plains and central Europe. In Rainforest: Dispatches from Earth's Most Vital Frontlines, a prominent conservationist provides a comprehensive view of the crucial roles rainforests serve, the state of the world's rainforests today, and the inspirational efforts underway to save them. In Rainforest, Tony Juniper draws upon decades of work in rainforest conservation. He brings readers along on his journeys, from the thriving forests of Costa Rica to Indonesia, where palm oil plantations have supplanted much of the former rainforest. Despite many ominous trends, Juniper sees hope for rainforests and those who rely upon them, thanks to developments like new international agreements, corporate deforestation policies, and movements from local and Indigenous communities. As climate change intensifies, we have already begun to see the effects of rainforest destruction on the planet at large. Rainforest provides a detailed and wide-ranging look at the health and future of these vital ecosystems. Throughout this evocative book, Juniper argues that in saving rainforests, we save ourselves, too. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed July 10, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Rain forest ecology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85111192 650 0 Rain forest animals.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh89004923 650 0 Rain forest people.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh97007492 650 0 Rain forest conservation.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh91000925 650 0 Deforestation|xControl.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh88003269 650 7 Rain forest ecology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1089445 650 7 Rain forest animals.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1089435 650 7 Rain forest people.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1089456 650 7 Rain forest conservation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1089437 650 7 Deforestation|xControl.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/889764 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Marent, Thomas,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2006013846|ephotographer. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJuniper, Tony.|tRainforest : Dispatches from Earth's Most Vital Frontlines.|dWashington, D.C. : Island Press, ©2019|z9781642830729 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2181625|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
