The sun was hot, but the rainforest creatures were sheltered from its rays by the canopy of leaves.
I think of the word canopy as something like a tent that you can shelter under.MY CONNECTIONS WITH THIS WORD :
Green relates the moving story of the destruction of rainforests in Indonesia for palm oil, tropical wood and paper production.The story is told from the point of view of an Orang-utan in its last days of life.

What is sustainable palm oil? http://www.greenpalm.org/en/about-palm-oil/what-is-sustainable-palm-oil
Group 1
What is the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, and what is Green Palm certification?
Why do some people say that RSPO certification is not enough to protect rainforests in Borneo and Sumatra? What is greenwashing? Why do some people accuse companies seeking RSPO certification of greenwashing? Why do some people (like some of the commenters on the Green blog post) think the backlash against palm oil production is misguided?
What can be done ?
Watch this video about the importance of our rainforests, detailing the regeneration plans for
the Harapan Rainforest in Indonesia.
