The story is framed through a walk into the rainforest as sounds fade into quiet, using vivid description to evoke the forest’s living presence and fragile balance. Dedicated to Chico Mendes and supported by contributors who share expertise and materials.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nIn the Amazon rain forest it is always hot, and in  \nthat heat everything grows, and grows, and grows.  \nThe tops of the trees in the rain forest are called the  \ncanopy. The canopy is a sunny place that touches  \nthe sky. The animals that live there like lots of light.  \nColorful parrots fly from tree to tree. Monkeys leap  \nfrom branch to branch. The bottom of the rain  \nforest is called the understory. The animals that  \nlive in the understory like darkness. There, silent  \nsnakes curl around hanging vines. Graceful jaguars  \nwatch and wait.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nThis book is dedicated to the memory of Chico Mendes,  \nwho gave his life in order to preserve a part of the rain forest.  \nThanks to my friends Irv and Bernice Kirk for their editorial assistance; to the World Wildlife Fund in Washington, DC,  \nand especially to Rob Bierregaard for sharing his office, his reference photos, and his expertise; to Victor Bullen and, again,  \nto Rob for facilitating my trip to WWF’s base camp in the Amazon rain forest and to Carlos Miller, the native Brazilian who  \nposed as the woodcutter, to Brian Boom, assistant curator at the New York Botanical Garden, for all his assistance,  \nespecially in Manaus; to Stephen Nash and Judy Stone of SUNY at Stonybrook; to Russ Mittermeier, Mark Plotkin, and  \nGary Hartshorn of the World Wildlife Fund and Tom Lovejoy of the Smithsonian Institution.
