A picture that you're familiar with the Amazon rainforests.

And so does every wild habitat on the planet,

like the Amazon rainforest you're hearing behind me.

I recently joined a field campaign in Malaysia. There are others.

Tropical rainforests are a cause for concern.

I've even gone to biological environments,

I make ice cream.

Rainforests should be preserved.

So to keep the game going, I just have to find another term and look that one up.

There are still dozens and dozens of uncontacted tribes living on this planet.

It's not the work I set out to do.

He doesn't.

Around the world, slaves are used to destroy the environment, cutting down trees in the Amazon destroying forest areas in West Africa mining and spreading mercury around in places like Ghana and the Congo destroying the coastal ecosystems in South Asia.

Rainforests provide the earth with many benefits.

The destruction of the rainforests affects our environment.

Thousands of hectares of tropical rainforest are being lost every day.

And actually if we carry on as we are, it's a problem we're very unlikely to be able to solve.

The sun and a damp climate made the tropical rainforest.

Despite that, these animals grow back in about a year's time.

She'd been working in a Madagascar rainforest without satellite access.

So soybeans have really exploded, showing how trade and globalization are really responsible for the connections to rainforests and the Amazon an incredibly strange and interconnected world that we have today.

And that's what we're doing.

His name was Ben.

And Léila came up with an incredible idea, a crazy idea.

The rainforests are disappearing at the rate of tens of thousands of hectares a day.

We cannot dispense with the rainforests.

Tropical rainforests produce oxygen and consume carbon dioxide.

Each year, twenty seven million acres of the tropical rainforests are destroyed.

But when that ancient continent broke up, life got lusher.

I'm talking about movies like Dances with Wolves, The Last Samurai, The Last of the Mohicans,

I feel that I've fitted in, in many ways, to some of the things that I've heard.

So I said, Well, you've got to make a rainforest ice cream.

When we received this land, this land was as dead as I was.

The red bars correspond to the likelihood that a man will die at the hands of another man, as opposed to passing away of natural causes, in a variety of foraging societies in the New Guinea Highlands and the Amazon Rainforest.

Somewhere in the Amazon forest is the marginal tree.

So, on the top, we had these beautiful rainforests and an ocean, and underneath we had all this technosphere, we called it, which is where all the pumps and the valves and the water tanks and the air handlers, and all of that.

It's a tragedy that rainforests are being destroyed for the sake of profits.

They live on the snow and ice of the Poles and in tropical jungles.

So Osorio, good to be there with you.

These plants occur in great diversity, over 28,000 species around the world.

So what we're doing is, we're taking the most concentrated greenhouse gas sink, twice as much greenhouse gases are sequestered in the boreal per acre than the tropical rainforests.

I was born on a farm, a farm that was more than 50 percent rainforest still .

I've done rock climbing and deep sea diving and slept in an Indonesian jungle.

The biodiversity and the biodensity in the ocean is higher, in places, than it is in the rainforests.

The western border of the boreal in British Columbia is marked by the Coast Mountains, and on the other side of those mountains is the greatest remaining temperate rainforest in the world, the Great Bear Rainforest, and we'll discuss that in a few minutes in a bit more detail.
