INTRODUCTION

The Amazon Rainforest in South America is only a small part of the world. However it holds many organisms which all interact together in some form or another, and it contributes a lot to our atmosphere.

The problem is that the Amazon Rainforest is disappearing and the San Antonio Zoo wants you to help save the Amazon Rainforest by creating a rainforest exhibit. Furthermore, they also want to raise awareness of the problem by asking you to do the following task.

TASK The San Antonio zoo has employed you to research the Amazon rainforest. You are being asked to create an informational website about the rainforest for visitors at the Amazon Rainforest Exhibit at the zoo. They will send you on some virtual tours through the Amazon rainforest to help you. While on the tour, you are to collect and gather information which may be important to the following questions:
 * What is the Amazon rainforest?
 * What creatures live there?
 * How is the rainforest valuable?
 * What are some of the problems faced by rainforests of the world?
 * How can we solve the problems of the rainforest?

PROCESS First of all, go on the virtual tours, explore the websites, and understand what is significant about the rain forest. Also find out what kind of creatures are in the rainforest, and what threats they face. Be sure to record information which may be needed for your project. Then, put it all together and create your presentation.
