      Real time interaction between students in North America and researchers on camera in Brazil focused on the many animal species found in the varied ecological niches provided by rainforests. Students will also see how sustainable development can assist the human inhabitants of the rainforest, while preserving viable environments of animals, plants and living organisms which are a library of genetic diversity created by nature over the eons. NASA images demonstrate how satellite technology can assist nations in long-term monitoring and management of their resources.
