Film Description
Every minute, more than 50 acres of tropical forest are destroyed or seriously degraded. Several species a day are lost to extinction as a result. The death of these forests is affecting all of us on earth-accelerating changes in global weather, eliminating valuable biological resources for industry and medicine, and exacerbating hunger and poverty. OUR THREATENED HERITAGE, produced by the nation's largest environmental organization, provides a concise overview of the destruction of the rainforests and what can be done to stop it. Images of fascinating wildlife and towering trees are vividly presented, along with comments from global experts about the causes and potential solutions to the destruction. The link between environment and development in the tropics is also explored. OUR THREATENED HERITAGE is an excellent summary of the demise of one our most important ecosystems.
