| Summary: | "Green Matters is your essential resource for a healthier planet. From the protection of endangered species to the design of ecofriendly homes, Green Matters is a timely look at our planet's most important issue. Within the heart of this famed, Bustling City is a tranquil oasis. It is the rio de janeiro botanical garden. It is also a vital link to Brazil's most threatened ecosystem, the atlantics rainforest. For over 500 years the rainforest has been eroded, largely for sugar cane and coffee. Now, a total of only around 7% remains in scattered fragments. Yet within this area is the greatest diversity of plant and animal species on our planet." |
