Creatures Great & Small Newsletter- Vol 2.
Help us head off our worlds
gravest ecological tragedy!
One
of the main goals of Creatures Great & Small
is to educate the public about our environment, the rain forest and how we can and MUST
make a change in our world. You see, the extent of destruction wrought by the burning
and bulldozing of rain forest has reached such proportions that it now threatens worldwide
consequences!
What does that mean to you, me, our kids, and our entire planet?
Even though the rain forests occupy only 2% of our earths
surface they support well over half of its wild plants, trees, animal and insect life-
including vegetation that provide a quarter of todays drugs and medicines.
Treatments for everything from heart disease to leukemia and 99% of rain forests
vegetation has yet to be evaluated for its medical value!
Our rain forests exert a powerful control over world climate, as
well, with influence on temperature, wind,
and humidity, not to mention our own rainfall. Yet over 4,000 acres of this irreplaceable
forest is being burned off each hour! That sounds unbelievable but, that creeping inferno
not only threatens everything from agriculture to drinking water, but also is a major
contributor to the Greenhouse Effect now predicted by so many scientist.
Creatures Great & Small
is trying to do our part to raise awareness on this tragedy and are proud to announce our
brand new, educational Mobile Unit called The Rain Forest
Adventure.

your school, group or business would like learn more about our programs or would like to
