Rainforests are home to over half the world's animal and plant species. Many of our everyday foods originate from these rich habitats, and rainforest plants are used in life-saving medicines. Most importantly, rainforests play a critical role in stabilising our climate; without them, life on Earth would be quite different. Yet, despite their vital importance, rainforests are disappearing at an increasingly alarming rate. <p/> This book celebrates these essential ecosystems, looking at both tropical and temperate rainforests around the world, providing a pictorial record of these living wonderlands before they are gone forever.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dr. Simon Dures </b> earned his PhD in evolution and ecology from Imperial College London and the Zoological Society of London.
