This program is part of a PBS series that takes the viewer to some of the world's wildest and most scenic places. The topic of this episode is the delicate ecosystem of the rain forest. On-location photography in Central America shows the profuse varieties of birds and other wildlife that call the rain forest home. This documentary takes a hard look at the ways in which the encroachment of man has endangered this fragile habitat, which provides much of the world's necessary oxygen. Imprudent action in the rain forest now threatens the future of the human species as well. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi
