Rainforest. Dense forest in an area of high rainfall that varies little with the seasons, especially that in the tropics ... Temperate rainforest occurs in some moist coastal areas; tropical rainforest is more extensive, and is usually dominated by tall, broad-leaved evergreen trees.

The dream of a rain forest saved by children began in 1987 at a small primary school in rural Sweden. The study of tropical forests prompted nine-year-old Roland Tiensuu to ask what he could do to keep the rain forest and the animals who live in it safe from destruction? A campaign raised money to help the Monteverde Conservation League buy and save threatened rain forest in Costa Rica. Roland and his classmates raised enough money to buy 15 acres(6 hectares) of rain forest. Costa Rican and international staff and volunteers work throughout the zone in forest preservation, reforestation, environmental education, and sustainable development. Called Bosque Eterno de los Ninos(Children's Eternal Forest), it is the first international children's rain forest in the world, a rain forest being saved by and for children, for the planet itself, for now and for tomorrow.  1, fiche 6, Anglais, - Children%26rsquo%3Bs%20Rain%20Forest

Out of this initial success, a group of children dedicated to saving the tropical rain forest formed Barnens Regnskog, "Children's Rain Forest" in Swedish. The vision took hold, and soon other group organized to lend a hand : The Children's Rainforest(United States), Children's Tropical Forests(United Kingdom), Nippon Kodomo no Jungle(Japan). As the spirit sweeps across other lands, more groups are forming and individual contributions arrive from other far corners of the globe. Called Bosque Eterno de los Ninos(Children's Eternal Forest), it is the first international children's rain forest in the world, a rain forest being saved by and for children, for the planet itself, for now and for tomorrow.  1, fiche 7, Anglais, - Children%26rsquo%3Bs%20Tropical%20Forests

Tropical moist forest is generally defined as forest in areas that receive not less than 100 mm of rain in any month for two out of three years and have an annual mean temperature of 24°C or higher. Also included in this category, however, are some forests(especially in Africa) where dry periods are longer but high cloud cover causes reduced evapotranspiration.  3, fiche 10, Anglais, - moist%20forest
