Set

species, from giant otters to tiny tree frogs.
It
serves as an excellent introduction to the diversity of life in
a tropical forest, as well as some of the human threats to this
diversity.
Amazonia
was chosen by the MacArthur Foundation's Library Project as the
best short film on this subject and is available at over 2,000 public
libraries nationwide.
