Forest in the Clouds
Alarm is growing as the world's tropical forests are slashed from existence. What will we have lost when they are gone?
This portrait of a jungle won narrator/producer Barry Paine a 1978 Glaxo Science Writers' Award for its revelations of an intriguing green world in the forests of Costa Rica. There huge, strangling fig trees rely for existence on wasps as small as match-heads; ants hide in potato ferns, and paper wasps show an ingenious way of keeping dry. And in this haunt lives that most exotic of jungle birds - the resplendent quetzal.
