Introduction
Welcome Rainforest Rangers! The Amazon, Congo, and even our own rainforests in the Philippines are disappearing fast. These "Lungs of the Earth" produce oxygen and are home to millions of species. As scientists, your mission is to investigate why rainforests are in danger and create a plan to save them. The future of our planet depends on you!
