Imagine a mystical place, with lush blankets of green moss draping majestic trees.
Where some areas receive three meters of rain each year, giving life to a staggering number of
living things. Places like these exist right here in Canada. In fact up to ¼ of the world's
coastal temperate rainforests are in British Columbia. Among the most productive
ecosystems on earth, everything in this forest has a role: from
400-year-old trees that shelter nesting birds, to fallen logs that support new life.
Humans also have a role in rainforests; we depend on their natural resources, like wood,
to build our homes. In return, we must work together to conserve
the rainforest... and that's just a start! To find out more about Canada's rainforests—and
