The Vanishing Rainforest
Richard Platt, Rupert van Wyk
Why is the Brazilian rainforest vanishing so fast? And why is it essential not only to the people and animals within it, but to the whole world? Can anything be done to save it? This story, seen through the eyes of a child called Remaema, describes how the Yanomami tribe are battling against potential developers. Can a solution be found that will protect the forest and allow the tribe to continue living as they always have done, while benefiting from limited development? This picture book offers an exciting perspective on a controversial and topical subject.
Reviews
I enjoyed embarking on a journey with Remaema through the rainforest and learning about her culture, family and home. I was captivated by her experience with the nabe and enjoyed learning about the devastating effects that deforestation has on her peoples home. The informative section at the back of the book allowed me to expand on what I know and had learned by reading The Vanishing Rainforest and bring the story into a real life context.
