The Museo de Sud America has employed you and your partner(s) as their research biologists. The members of the museum are concerned about the Selvas region of South America. This region is tropical rainforest and better known as the Amazon jungle. The rainforest is being destroyed on a daily basis and the museum wants to educate the public about the living things that form the forest. Their hope is to preserve the forest through education. Since the organisms within the forest are dependant upon each other, as well as we are dependant on the forest, the focus of this project is on the forest's delicate food web.
