Numerous informative essays look at the flora and fauna and the human residents of the forests, how to plan a journey, and profile 17 of the most spectacular rainforest destinations in the world. A Travel Tips section offers carefully selected lodging, camping and touring information. The work is lavishly illustrated with more than 250 spectacular photographs as well as specially commissioned maps.
