With support from the World Wide Fund for Nature, Adrian Cowell has created a series of six programs for use in classrooms, based on his epic saga of the destruction of the Amazonian rainforest during the 1980's. The series gives students a well-rounded view of the many complex factors that led to what may be this century's worst environmental disaster. The titles in the series are: The Rainforest - The mechanics of a rainforest. -- The Colonists - Colonists invading the rainforest. -- The Development Road - The road to rainforest destruction. -- The Indians - The displaced Indian tribes of the Amazon rainforest. -- The Rubber Tappers - Rubber tappers live sustainable lifestyle. -- The Politicians - Politicians plunder the Amazon rainforest. |
