The rain forests are doomed..............

It is sad to read the title "The LAST Rain Forests", because it means, that they are doomed to extinction. This book offers a comprehensive overview about the tropical forests in general from the ecological, biological and conservationists points of view. It also puts into perspective the pressures imposed on the forests by humans and the challenges to establish strategies for the conservation of the flora and fauna. I wish our future generations should not have to live through the sad experience of watching the last forest, going....., going....., and GONE FOREVER!! Great book, although a little old (from the early nineties) it is still a great resource for everyone, young and old.
