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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7516 Ju   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 333.7516 Ju   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7516 Juniper   Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7516 Juniper   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7516 Ju   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7516 Ju   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7516 Ju   Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7516 Ju pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.7516 Ju   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
