For example, on your journey, you will meet:Squirrels and chipmunksBlack bears and batsArmadillos and slothsGreen anacondas and hummingbirdsJaguars and spider monkeysWith a primary focus on the conservation of these important ecosystems The Forest That Grounds Around Me explores how these forest environments survive and thrive, and what we need to do to protect them.
