Explore the Rainforest! Ecology for Kids

The video explores rainforests, highlighting their two main types: warm and cool. Warm rainforests, found in the tropics, are rich in biodiversity with distinct layers hosting various plants and animals. Cool rainforests, located further from the equator, have coniferous trees and animals adapted to cooler climates. The video emphasizes the unique adaptations of flora and fauna in these ecosystems and encourages further exploration of rainforests.
