Did you know that today only about 3 percent America’s original rainforests remain? The fate of the world’s rainforests isn’t much better. Even though about half of the worlds plant and animal species live in rainforests, over 23 million acres of this land is destroyed each year, driving approximately 50,000 species to extinction every [...]

"Submission"Leaves sprouting from tree stump in the rainforest"Submission" is the title I chose for this photo in a recent photography competition. I don't know exactly why, but it seems to fit the photo somehow. Perhaps it's the modest curve of the leaves, which give it a rather frail and gentle air. This is another one of my Goomburra shots, taken while walking to the Cascades.This photo taken w

Rainforest Cafe is one of those places that I'm always forgetting about. We've probably been there a dozen times, & every time I go I think to myself, "I've really got to remember this place." It's not that the food is excellent (although it's really not that bad, and their menu is HUGE, so there really is something for everyone), but what always amazes me, whenever we dine at the Rainforest C

/wildlife/article/31190 By Paul Taylor BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Charles, called on Thursday for a global fund to preserve tropical rainforests from destruction. "In the simplest of terms, we have to find a way to make the forests worth more alive than dead," the heir to the British throne told the European Parliament in an address. "The doomsday clock of climate change is ticking ever faster towards midnight," he said.Britain's Prince Charles urges rainforest funding
The Amazon Rainforest is a moist broadleaf forest in the Amazon Basin of South America. The area encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.2 billion acres), though the forest itself occupies some 5.5 million square kilometers, located within nine nations and about 60% in Brazil. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests and comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world.(from Graham at )"It was an enthrawling trek and made me realise how truly lucky we are to live in such a beautiful world. But it also reminded me how fragile our earth is."
One thing that makes the beaches of the northern coast of São Paulo (and the southern coast of Rio, and other bits further south) unique is that they are found right by the Atlantic rainforest. The biodiversity of the Mata Atlántica, as the forest is known in Portuguese, is unrivalled. The scenery too. The sequence of water, sand, forest and mountains can’t be found anywhere else in Brazil.
The contact with the tropical forest brings the visitor in close contact with different bird species. You only have to sit and rest and wait for the birds to appear. The birds that appear on this entry where all photographed within the space of an hour on the little village of Barra do Sahy, state of São Paulo.
Among the lush green tropical forest lives an entire culture all to it’s own. This unique ecosystem is home to many species that are not well known because of their ability to blend into the lush trees and vegetation. Well now is a great time to meet the animals of the tropical rainforest.Did you know that tropical rainforests cover only 2% of the planet yet they are home to two-thirds of all the living species on the globe? And here’s something else that’s pretty amazing. Nearly half of all medicinal compounds we use on a daily basis came from plants that live in the rainforest. The rainforest is a pretty amazing place and so are the animals that live there.Birds are a familiar resident in any rainforest. They species of birds will depend a great deal on the location of the rainforest but some common residents include parrots, the Toucan, Egrets, and the Macaw family including the Hyacinth, Blue and Gold, Scarlet, and Green Wing. They are a colorful addition to the rainforest. T

clipped from news.independent.co.ukVast areas of Brazil and Paraguay and much of Bolivia are choking under thick layers of smoke as fires rage out of control in the Amazon rainforest, forcing the cancellation of flights. Each year at the end of the dry season, in anticipation of the first winter rains, farmers and cattle ranchers throughout South America set fires to "renovate" pasture land. But this age-old cycle has spun out of control as deforestation and climate change have created a tinderbox. There has also been a massive expansion of cattle ranching into forested areas, where fires are then set to clear an area after chainsaws have felled the trees."These fires are the suicide note of mankind," said Hylton Murray Philipson, from the London-based charity Rainforest Concern. "While politicians talk about defining moments, destruction will continue until we begin to attribute real value to the standing forest. We obviously need to eat less beef.Read more about the rainforest fires
For the first time since moving to Sequim, our children came to visit, one from Hawaii and the other from Alaska. They both flew into Seatac, in Seattle around 10pm and we drove to Sequim in a couple of hours.After a good nights sleep we decided not to waste a lot of time and got on the road to the Hoh Rainforest. This 85 mile drive takes you through some of the most beautiful areas of the Olympic Peninsula. A few words from Wikipedia on the Hoh Rainforest follow: "The Hoh Rain Forest is one of the few temperate rain forests in the world, and is also the largest. It is located on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington state, USA. Within Olympic National Park, the forest is protected from commercial exploitation. This includes 38 km of low elevation forest (120 to 760 m) along the Hoh River. Between the park boundary and the Pacific Ocean, 48 km of river, nearly all of the forest has been logged within the last century.Annual precipitation ranges from 3.6 to 4.2 m (12 to 14 feet).

How important it is to include fruits as part of your diet is a well-known fact, and for some time now, a tiny dark purple colored fruit smaller than a grape, is creating a havoc in the health industry. I came across Acai (pronounced as a-sigh-eee) in Jamba Juice and Juice Zone, where the Acai Smoothie caught my eye. What little I learned from the girl who made my smoothie intrigued me enough to find out more about this new player in the market. Let's see what makes Oprah call the Acai Berry as her #1 SuperFood!!!Acai is very perishable and spoils within about 24 hours of being picked from the Acai Palm tree. So you can't get fresh Acai unless you live in the middle of amazon forest (which I surely hope you don't, b'coz then you wouldn't be reading my blog!) But Acai pulp can be frozen and can also be dehydrated into a powder and freeze dried. This powder can then be put into capsules to make pure Acai supplements that maintain all the nutritional properties of fresh Acai - just i
Imagine an orchid forest with more than 45 different species including dancing and dragon scale varieties, sambas breeding deer, flying fox, short- and long-tailed macaque birds, wild boar and 40-meter-high, 150-year-old bangkirai trees. A forestry student's dream come true and a native bird-watcher's paradise. And now it's accessible to those of us without hiking boots. This is one of the world's most beautiful virgin conservation forests -- and it is at Jakarta's front door, in East Kalimantan. It is the Bukit Bangkirai forest and conservation parkland, located in Samboja district, Kutai Kartanegara regency. There are three roads that lead to this incredible 1,500-hectare wonderland as well as wide-ranging accommodation to suit just about anyone. Bukit Bangkirai forest is internationally recognized yet still one of Indonesia's best kept tourism secrets.Nurni Sulaimana, The Jakarta Post, Kutai Kartanegara

The Conservatives have vowed cough up $30 million for the protection of BC's Great Bear Rainforest. The announcement comes nearly 12 months after environmentalists, native leaders, and the BC provincial government reached a historic agreement for the preservation of the area.The federal dollars will join $60 million already contributed by private foundations, and an additional $30 million from the BC Liberals, to form a $120 million pool for the creation of a new protected area three times the size of Prince Edward Island.Moving forward, the future of the forest will largely depend on the enforcement of the ecosystem based management system that will govern logging in the area, as the strict protected area will only cover about 1/3 of the total forest area. This was a controversial part of the agreement, and as recently as 2005 the David Suzuki Foundation published findings that showed widespread clear cutting and negative impacts from logging in the region's most productive salmon
