Анотація: Records the experiences of seventh-and eighth-grade students from Michigan who traveled to the Peruvian Amazon. There they explored the rain forest canopy and understory, learned about indigenous plant and animal life, visited a town school, traded with a native Amazonian tribe, and began to understand the economic pressures that lead to rain forest devastation and the sometimes complex results of simple actions.
