Rainforest Alliance

The Rainforest Alliance Learning Site offers curricula and resources to help students understand how rainforests contribute to our collective well-being. This program teaches science, math, language arts and social studies essentials while addressing the National Standards for Learning. The multidisciplinary curricula present information on forests, wildlife and local communities. It provides a global perspective on the importance of protecting the world's natural resources and gives students opportunities for direct action. All of these resources are easy to download or view on screen and are provided free of charge.

On these pages you will find:

• Complete lesson plans that meet National Standards for Learning designed for students in kindergarten through eighth grade
• Illustrated stories (available in English, Spanish and Portuguese)
• Presentations
• Articles
• Posters
• Profiles of rainforest species
• Information about on-the-ground conservation projects

We invite you to join us in educating our children about the importance of rainforests, and in advocating for their survival. Join us in ensuring that today's children -- and their children -- will be able to hear the raucous call of the scarlet macaw, to witness the brilliant blue flash of a morpho butterfly and to understand how people everywhere can benefit from the wealth of forest resources without destroying them.
