A roaring good guide to the secrets of the jungle! This spectacular and informative guide to some of the most extraordinary habitats on Earth contains superb colour photographs offering a unique 'eyewitness' view of the remarkable and colourful plants and animals of the world's jungles. See the beautiful but poisonous passionflower; the rare golden lion tamarin; a Heckel chew stick from Nigeria; the red howler monkey howling at dawn; a kangaroo climbing a tree. Learn about the indigenous peoples of the rainforest and discover what is being done to protect these valuable ecosystems.
