This book describes, graphic detail, the conservation of the rain forest. Dr. Michael Fay is a scientist from the Wildlife Conservation Society. He and his team walked around 2,000 kilometers through some of the wildest land of Africa. Their aim of the expedition is to make world of the Congo Basin; a world which could be disappearing from Earth. They are to collect and record data on almost every part of the rain forest. During this time, they make to document the trees, the plants, and the animals that they see there. An expedition into the wildlife of the rain forest is attended with dangerous. Occasionally they spend a day to across the rapids. They did it all as part of challenging scientific expedition called “The Mega transect.” They also did it in an attempt to save a disappearing world.
■Impressions
In my opinion, we have to know the earth’s present environment. When I was in United States, many people asked me that how do we, Japanese, think of an environmental issue. In addition they claimed me Japanese should stop whale fishing. We are drive whale to the verge of extinction. I think we have a responsibility to protect an extinct species. Someone needs to take action by oneself as like Dr. Michael Fay and his team members. I realized that we have to coexist with other species carefully.
