Regie: Norbert Vander
FSK: Freigegeben ohne Altersbeschränkung

INHALTSANGABE:
Das 4.188 Quadratkilometer große Naturschutzgebiet besteht überwiegend aus uraltem Regen- und Nebelwald. 263 Arten von Amphibien und Reptilien wurden bisher entdeckt, die Mehrzahl davon Echsen. Der Amistad (spanisch: Freundschaft) ist einer der größten, unveränderten Tropenwälder der Erde. Der höchste Berg in dem Areal misst 3.549 stolze Meter, der Cerro Kamuk. Seit 1983 gehört der Park zum Weltkultur- und Weltnaturerbe der UNESCO. Die Doku entführt Sie auf eine Reise hinein in die Tiefen des tropischen Regenwaldes. Wandeln Sie auf den verwunschenen Pfaden des Regenwaldes und genießen Sie den Anblick eines der letzten unberührten Nebelwälder dieser Erde und ihrer Bewohner. Oder lauschen Sie dem imposanten Frühkonzert der Brüllaffen unter dem grünen Dach ihres Heimatwaldes. Hunderte Arten von Vögeln fliegen durch das riesige Naturreservat, etwa 50 davon sind seltene und geschützte Exemplare. Die reiche Schmetterlingsfauna wird weltweit nur ein einziges Mal übertroffen. Und unter den vielen Säugetieren sind in Amistad auch Jaguar, Puma, Ozelot, Tapir, Stinktier, Salamander, Wildschwein und unzählige Affenarten zu Hause. Staunen Sie über außergewöhnliche Lebensräume. Riesige Eichen, Zypressen und Zedern wachsen hier unberührt und erreichen enorme Höhen. Und unter den Tausenden verschiedenen Pflanzenarten finden sich die schönsten Orchideen.

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] The rainforest has surrounded this place since time immemorial. A touch of mysticism surrounds this place. Legends surround hobbits and small forest dwellers. Magic is involved when entire expeditions no longer return. Evil awaits wild animals in the rainforest and poisonous snakes, rising mists are described as exhalations from hell.

It’s true that we want to find out what’s true about the legends and myths of the rainforest. We want to go behind the scenes of one of the most delicate ecosystems on our planet and answer the question why the rainforest concerns us all [ Music] we are in la amistad

The park connects the countries of Panama and Costa Rica it is around 400,000 square kilometers in size what is special about lamistad is its untouched tropical forests extend over around 3,500 meters in altitude. In 1983, la amistad, which translates as friendship, became

A world natural heritage site by UNESCO explains [music] the park consists mostly of rain and cloud forest, huge cypresses and cedars grow here alongside flags of astonishing height and size, some trees grow up to 40 meters high, their crowns form the roof of the rainforest

In the world natural heritage site la amistad There are all forms of tropical forest in a narrowly defined area, from the temperate rainforest of the coast to the tropical rainforest of the mountain slopes to the cloud forest in the peaks of the Andean cordillera

At an altitude of around 3,200 meters. Cloud forest occurs exclusively in the tropics and subtropics Its name comes from the fact that in humid weather it is almost always covered in clouds or fog. With average temperatures of 35 degrees, clouds arise that rise from the ground and settle on leaves and treetops.

Another special feature of this region are active volcanoes in the middle of the cloud forest, usually between 2,500 and 3,000 meters, craters and craters suddenly open up. The water in these lakes is usually turquoise blue and invites you to swim,

But be careful, the crater lakes are acidic. Swimming is life-threatening. The pH value is 1 and can be compared to that of hydrochloric acid [Music] [Music ] the rainforest is a complicated ecosystem, many factors such as climate, precipitation and soil conditions form a delicate balance.

At the same time, the rainforest, along with the coral reef, is the habitat in the world in which the highest biodiversity can be found. The structure follows strictly defined laws, so plants grow in the tropical rainforest in both extremes close to each other as well as in a certain

Vertical staggering, it is referred to as a floor structure. Six floors are often described, which, however, cannot be strictly separated from each other but rather merge into one another . All of these floors are interdependent and mutually influence the growth and existence of the rainforest [music]

. Dependence makes the rainforest ecosystem vulnerable to disturbances. Only a small part of this symbiosis is broken down, which has profound consequences for the existence of the rainforest [music]. For example, if the balance is disturbed by building a road through the rainforest, this can seriously disrupt the material cycle

Habitats of microorganisms such as bacteria, algae or fungi are displaced. The production of nutrients through the decomposition of biomass comes to a standstill as a result of the displacement of these organisms. Giant trees that form the roof of the rainforest at 40 meters and the sea therefore

No longer find enough nutrients in the soil, as a result Huge swathes break and cut into the forest in a modified form, this is known from the local forests here and it is called forest dieback. This example shows how important it is to protect the entire rainforest system. Another problem is

Deforestation cannot be replaced by reforestation in the short term. Young trees need up to 60 years until they can take over the function of old trees. By then there is a shortage in the ecosystem [music] The weather in the tropical rainforest is characterized by year-round rainfall

They are particularly intense in spring and autumn and lead to a humid climate prevailing for at least 10 months per year, so more precipitation falls than can evaporate [music] the water collects in small rivers and streams which later become large ones on the plain Combining rivers with high waterfalls, the water overcomes the

Difference in height between the peaks of the cloud forest to the plains of the estuary. On the way there, landscapes and structures are repeatedly created in the rainforest that are reminiscent of the local mountains. The sunlight gives them a special, almost painted, unreal effect

This forest dweller lives under the canopy of the rainforest The sloth is one of the toothless mammals and is related to anteaters and armadillos [Music] There are six species known that can be divided into the families of two- and three-toed sloths. Three fingered sloths like this species can be reached a body length

Of a good half a meter and weigh up to five kilograms. Almost the entire solitary life of sloths takes place hanging with their backs down on a branch. The curved claws act as hooks. They feed almost exclusively on leaves.

This fibrous, nutrient-poor diet is included With the help of bacteria in the digestive tract, it is gradually decomposed so that the stomach contents of the animals usually make up the majority of their body weight. Sloths also have the lowest

Metabolic rates of all mammals for their size. Feces and urine are only released about every eight days, so they move sparingly with energy Sloths, as their name describes, seem to move laboriously and hesitantly through the branches as if in slow motion. They sleep almost 16 hours a day.

The body temperature is also similar to reptiles as to mammals. In active phases it cannot rise above 33 degrees while sleeping They sink to 24 degrees. To protect themselves, sloths have developed an unusual camouflage. Algae settle in the grooves of their hair, which they

Benefit from as a green, iridescent color between the leaves. The sea and sense of hearing are very weakly developed, so that sloths orientate themselves by smell and touch [Music] The floor of the tropical rainforest is usually

Covered by plants called ground cover. There are also impenetrable bushes and hedges that tower over a person. Often in the rainforest you stand in front of a green wall that prevents the group from progressing. These plants are the mineral reservoir of the rainforest Minerals and nutrients are stored in them

That are no longer found in the soil. Due to the long, intensive nutrient pull through plants and trees, it is very poor in nutrients. This deficiency continues down to the depths of the stone layer that lies beneath the topsoil.

However, nature has reacted to it and one A solution to the problem has been found, the soil plants die, biomass is created through composting, which is immediately used by trees, so the lack of nutrients is compensated for. The biosystem functions in an intact rainforest. Characteristic of the tropical rainforest are overgrown trees.

There are thousands of species of moss here, but for the most part only The number of moss comes from 15 families. The number of moss increases with altitude. In the lowland rainforest, for example, there are hardly any moss. The high temperatures combined with little light under the dense canopy prevent

High photosynthesis. Above 1,000 meters above sea level, the distribution of the mosses then increases sharply reaches the highest density between 1,800 and 2,800 meters [music] tropical moss species like those seen here grow best at up to 25 degrees, the

Plants can tolerate up to 30 degrees even at long-term higher temperatures they die due to excessive respiration losses. Mosses are in As a rule, they are small and grow relatively slowly, which is why they are weak in competition compared to the higher plants They therefore often move to locations that cannot be colonized by higher plants. Moses can be found on rocks, bark and leaves, in contrast to others Plants in almost nutrient-free locations [Music] Mose absorb water and nutrients through the surface and are therefore exposed to the direct effects of pollutants, which is why they react

Very quickly to organic or chemical water pollution as well as to acidification and exposure to heavy metals [Music] These properties make the moses very good so-called bio-indicators due to their short life cycle you can see environmental changes or environmental pollution in the area very quickly [Music] [Music]

This tendril wrapped around a tree and killed it a completely new bizarre structure was created, similar to a hollow tree you can climb the inside of this pseudo tree at 15 meters it’s over but very few people make it until then you get to the top you can

Look through a small hole into the forest or directly under the roof of the rainforest [music] [music] you can look from below From the second or third floor of the rainforest into the sky you are amazed at how colorful and green the vegetation is.

In some places the roof even has holes as the sun shines through the otherwise dense forest of leaves A pseudo pineapple tentatively raises its flowers towards the sun [ Music] the daily rain is announced with heavy cloud formations in the sky [Music] Minutes later it is pouring in the rainforest and the palm blossoms are standing in the downpour.

The amount of precipitation is between 2000 and 4000 mm per year, but it can be more on mountain slopes that are exposed to the wind At the edge of the Alps, for example, around 800 mm falls per year. Tropical rainforests are particularly

Lush green areas because of the constant supply of water. However, this appearance of unlimited growth potential is clouded by the fact that it is only derived from the visible surface. The subsoil is rather barren For thousands of years, the soils of most rainforests have been

Exposed to the terrible weather without any escape. The rock in the subsoil has weathered extremely strongly, in some places up to 50 meters deep. Many minerals that would also be important for plant nutrition have sunk deeper and deeper into the ground as a result of this weathering It is relatively poor

In nutrients on the surface, which is why the vegetation of today’s tropical rainforests is an adaptation to a basically inhospitable soil. They exist because a finely tuned but very susceptible to disturbance recycling system for organic substances has developed

In them . These picardis make an important contribution Contribution to the rainforest ecosystem the animals bask in the puddles and mud holes that form after rainfall and thus prepare new soil for new plants. The name picari comes from the language of the Brazilian

Tupi Indians and roughly means animal that makes many paths through the forest Bristly even-toed ungulates belong to the family of new secular pigs and are related to the wild boars in Europe. How they were able to get to the other side of the pond is controversial. The theories range from early migrations to

Animals that were released as food reserves by the conquerors. The names Umbilical pigs carry them due to an umbilical-like dorsal gland hidden by hair. The strong smell of the secretion characterizes the animals in a herd and is used to mark their territory.

We witness a happy event in the tropical rainforest. A Picardi sees the light of day. The young are born after a gestation period of around 160 days born immediately after birth, in addition to the mother, the other guards, i.e. females of the

Pack and the young animal, look after it and lovingly push it in the mud and the nudge gets the young animal’s circulation going, which after a short time can stand and walk independently. Cars are sociable Animals They live in packs of up to 200 animals with them but it’s not

Too fun. Similar to European wild boars, they are fearless fighters. If a member of a pack comes into trouble, the remaining members of the places attack the enemy and enable them the attacked animal is able to escape. Peccaries usually give birth to two young per litter.

That’s why we witness the birth of another young animal after the first one is born and it can stand on its own four legs. The birth process of new peccaries begins. Their young come with their hind legs first To stop the birth,

Another guard nudges the expectant mother’s side and gets the process going again. With a final presswire, the new member of the picari family comes into the world. The mother makes sure that it doesn’t fall into the water but rather lays it down basically on the soft, musty ground [music]

Shortly after the birth, all the animals in the herd want to bite through the umbilical cord of the young animals but the mother will do that first the afterbirth comes then the umbilical cord is known the placenta is probably eaten out of fear of attracting predators then it begins For

The rue, life with two new members. Once the young animals are fully grown, they will weigh 20 to 50 kilos. Boars and brooks are about the same size and can reach a shoulder height of almost 50 cm. They are always eaten, depending on the fruit, tendrils and seeds Availability with their snouts

They dig through their we and work the soil like a plow in a field Peccaries are threatened with extinction their habitat is getting smaller and smaller and they are still hunted an estimated 5000 animals still live in the world [music]

In some places If the tropical rainforest is really colorful, you will always come across rare flowers like these gusmaniamino. The gusmania belongs to the bromeliad genus. They are found in around 200 different species in the tropical rainforests of Lamistad. The often brightly colored inflorescences have a long

Shelf life in many species unbranched the beaked helicone is typical of the tropical rainforest in Lamistad it is also called lobster claw. Hummingbirds find their food in the flowers. It is not uncommon for hummingbird jams to occur before the flowers.

Numerous streams cross the tropical rainforest . Mose and Moses met on the stones of the stream bed Lichens live in the green coating of the stones and are an important habitat for the smallest animals such as the cyanobacterium, which excretes oxygen,

But also amoebas and other single-celled organisms live in these microhabitats and form the basis, so to speak, of the beginning of the food and utilization chain in the tropical rainforest ecosystem [music] there These poison dart frogs are also alive. The neon-colored animals are so-called because Indians rubbed their arrows on the frogs’ skin

And thus wetted the tips with the animals’ poisonous skin secretion. This secretion is created because poison dart frogs eat poisonous forest ants. Poison dart frogs are found in the tropical rainforest of Latin America in Costa Rica Panama and Colombia They can be found at altitudes of up to 1,000 meters This red-eyed tree frog is the best-known red-eyed frog. It occurs at slightly higher altitudes in the rainforests of all of Central America. The frogs’ habitat must be interspersed with ponds and bodies of water trees with large leaves are also essential [music]

That’s why frogs find optimal living conditions near the ground in the tropical rainforests the water in the streams is fresh and is constantly renewed by the daily rain showers and lichens on the stones of the boulders in and on the Streams attract insects Also lobster scissors Bromeliads or these palm flowers serve as a source of food for microorganisms and larger insects Orchids also thrive in the hot, humid climate of the rainforest. There are up to 143 species of orchids in Lamistad alone. They are found in exposed places where they always get a few rays of the sparse sun [music] this tapir finds coolness in the brackish water of a pond in the midday heat,

Looks similar to her pigs, but her closest companions are horses and rhinos Tapirs are herbivores that primarily eat soft food. In addition to leaves, they also decorate aquatic plants, buds, branches and fruits. With their long, muscular and mobile tongues, they can also reach leaves from thorny

Plants. Tapirs are nocturnal. During the day they retreat into the dense undergrowth They go looking for food at night. They move forward by keeping their trunk on the ground. They can also swim and dive well and they like to dig in the mud. Tapirs

Are generally very shy and cautious. They are threatened. They flee into the water or take flight. The animals are alive solitary tapirs are territorially dominant, when two conspecifics meet, aggressive fights often occur. this rotaguti is related to guinea pigs, they are considered a delicacy by the locals

And are heavily hunted. Rota gutis are up to 80 cm long and weigh 13 kilos The animals live here in peaceful coexistence with the red deer. Red deer are known from Europe, where they are widespread, but to find these animals in the tropical rainforest of la Amistad is quite surprising [music]

Hunting-loving pharmaceuticals imported red deer from the Carpathians and Austria in 1904 Alps first to Argentina in order to establish them as hunting game on their extensive farms. The populations in Panama essentially come from these imports. Red deer eat between 8 and 20 kilograms of green fodder every day. The high fluctuation is

Due to the different quality of the food plants eaten as well from a seasonally fluctuating food requirement a beautiful beechnuts chestnuts and fruit are on the menu as well as tree bark moss and lichens [music] these hallucinogenic mushrooms were mostly used by the indigenous peoples in spiritual ceremonies they are probably among the

Oldest drugs known to mankind they contain organic silocybins Substance whose effect comes from the lsdner The mushrooms are widespread worldwide. A total of over 180 species are known. In the warm, humid climate of the rainforest you will find ideal conditions.

You will always find them near mushrooms. Leaf cutter ants are the gardeners of the tropical rainforest. They tirelessly transport leaves from bushes and trees to their words there they chew the leaves and secrete a secretion that they use as a substrate for growing mushrooms. The ants live on these mushrooms.

The ants set up real mushroom farms which they constantly expand and maintain. Mushroom cultivation takes place via a finely tuned assembly line column in the Each of the 29 different steps is carried out by a special caste of animals. The ants can cause great damage in plantations of crops.

A colony can cut as much vegetation per day as an adult cow. Annually, an average colony of leaf cutter ants harvests around 35 tons of leaves because the ants are at By moving large amounts of soil when expanding their nest, they not only aerate the soil but also circulate nutrients. They are

Important for other organisms. Jungle soil can become ten times more fertile thanks to the work of the leaf cutter ants. The boa constrictor lives under the canopy of the rainforest. It leaves the trees There is almost never any reason for this because she finds everything she needs to live in her immediate surroundings.

These inhabitants of the rainforest fit exactly into her prey scheme because white-headed capuchin monkeys live in the same habitat as the large constrictor snake and young animals in particular fall into many of them Falling for the snake’s perfect camouflage Capuchin monkeys have a tail which they often wear rolled up.

They use it not only for support while moving but also for gripping. Their hair color and hair arrangement give the head the impression of a small capuchin cap, hence their unusual name, the funny ones Animals have conquered very different habitats – they live in the hazy ones

Lowland primeval forests as well as in the primeval forests over 1,600 meters high. Like most new world monkeys, they are diurnal tree dwellers in the GS. They usually move on all fours. When feeding, they sometimes only hang by their tail. Their diet consists of fruits, insects, plants Snails and young vertebrates

Capuchin monkeys are among the most intelligent New World monkeys in the world. Their behavior sometimes reveals unexpected achievements such as using a tool to crack a nut, but their high intelligence has unfortunately also ensured that they can be found in animal laboratories around the world In the past

, they were also often the companions of street artists and are still counted for various performances today. Unfortunately, in the rarest of cases, the attitude is species-appropriate. Wild capuchin monkeys also like to follow people to their settlements Adhere to a fixed marching order.

The adolescents march first, then the majority of the family follows and finally the mothers follow with their clinging children. Capuchins are not only interested in food. The little thieves, like magpies, are also attracted to anything shiny, so we better take good care of ours After all , we

Don’t want to see a capuchin monkey disappearing into the trees with our camera lens, but as long as we have everything on hand, there is no danger of directly approaching people. The cheeky and lively but ultimately shy companions only rarely dare to approach people [Music] A very rare phenomenon occurs. Not only does one species of monkey live in the treetops of the rainforest, but also a second species of howler monkeys. This is astonishing because capuchins and howler monkeys are competitors, especially when it comes to food Howler monkeys are a genus of primates in the family of spider-tailed monkeys. They live in Central and South America and are known for their loud screams that they emit mainly in the early morning. They feed on leaves and other plant material. The genus includes 10 species.

Howler monkeys are both Can be found in rainforests as well as in dry deciduous forests in mountain forests up to 3,200 meters altitude and even in the savanna-like cerado landscape. Howler monkeys are diurnal tree-dwellers but sometimes come to the ground. They are skilled climbers, even if their movements

Are rather cautious The fifth hand is used and is so strong that animals can catch themselves with their tail alone after jumping from a branch. Males and females often occupy different parts of the trees. While males are in the treetops, females tend to be in the lower parts,

Like almost all of them -world monkeys, howler monkeys are pure herbivores. Their main food is leaves, which make up around 80% of their annual diet. In addition, they eat fruits and flowers on a seasonal basis. Like many other leaf eaters, they have to compensate for the low nutritional value of their food with

Long rest periods. Howler monkeys are among the largest after the spider monkeys New World monkeys reach a body length of 60 to 90 cm, the tail is just as long, the weight is 4 to 10 kilograms, the males are always significantly heavier than the females, the

Face is hairless and dark, the mouth and neck area is developed for loud screams [music] at In the sun’s rays the rainforest quickly turns colorful kusmania a type of bromeliad or orchids then show their splendor the melastometazea bush is in full bloom and the Tiefenbach here also stirs its

Leaves towards the sun is shining in the rainforest the sun awakens life not only the flowers open but also Insects and birds also come out of their shelters – this is the time of the hummingbirds – the tiny, lightning-fast animals fly from plant to plant and draw the nutrient-rich

Nectar from the herding – this very energy-rich food makes the energy-sapping style of flight only possible, particularly striking red or orange colored flowers, attract hummingbirds. Insects also collect in the flowers, which are also eaten by hummingbirds. The hummingbird family includes more than 100 genera with more than 330 to

340 species, of which 130 species alone live in the Close to the equator, the sack-like nests of the Montezuma’s headbird are the first to fall on the nests. The nests hang freely in the crowns of the

Trees. They are built similarly to the nests of weaver birds that are mainly known from South Africa. The Montezuma’s headbird breeds in colonies with around 30 nests in each The colony is dominated by a male that, after an elaborate courtship display with most of the females,

Is parked in a 60 to 180 cm long hanging. The female lays two white to beige, darkly speckled eggs that are incubated for 15 days and the young birds [music] alone become 30 days old Due to their body length of 50 cm, these birds are noticeable if you

Spot them in the dense greenery. Males weigh around 500 grams. Females weigh around 380 grams. When they raise their voices and let out their distinctive calls, you can distinguish them from other bird species without looking Their distribution area within Panama and Costa Rica is in the Caribbean lowlands and in the central

Valley Background you can understand why the inhabitants consider this forest to be sacred. The dense green of the treetops, some of which are over 40 meters high, covers the floor of the rainforest like a cloth, covers everything and hides the view of the ground. No wonder that

Myths and legends arise here There was the magical fascination of this landscape felt [music] but that is also the rainforest a cable car leads directly into it past cultural landscapes tourists glide to the roof of the rainforest The model for this tourist experience are the cable cars that researchers used to get

To the roof of the last century have moved the rainforest from treetop to treetop in order to document the biodiversity of flora and fauna . The residents of the la amystad rainforest have recognized that the existence of the rainforest can only be secured by managing the area through ecological tourism.

However, the successes of different protected areas differ significantly from one another The parks in Central America are relatively effective, but those in the Democratic Republic of Congo are practically ineffective. Poaching and border crossings cause problems for many parks, although the vegetation inside the parks is usually in a much better condition than

Outside because as the population increases, the pressure on the parks increases satellite images show that 69% of the protected areas examined have experienced a habitat decline within 50 kilometers of the park boundary in the last 20 years. Protected areas vary greatly in size. Large parks such as those

Found in Amazonia are probably the only way to preserve complete ecosystems, but also smaller parks With up to a few hectares, individual species can be preserved. Many parks are chronically underfinanced, although tourism in politically stable countries such as Panama or Costa Rica can generate income in accessible parts of protected areas.

The bottom line is that the parks cost more than they earn. In practice, the costs are often of Supported by local residents who can no longer access resources and may be evicted from their land without sufficient compensation, the prospects of an effective park are therefore slim [music]

That is why the turn to ecological tourism in naamistad is done with political calculation – those responsible are relying on the emotional experience in unadulterated nature and anyone who has flown freely through the roof of the tropical rainforest at a height of 40 meters

Will never forget this experience. Protecting nature through pure experience can be a way to find a sensible balance between economy and ecology [Music] The edge of the rainforest is almost reminiscent of cultural landscapes like those found in Europe. The rainforest has given way to pastures for livestock farming. What is shocking is that over 70% of livestock are not produced for the domestic market but for export Cattle breeds native to the First World

Are very popular when it comes to meat quality, which means nothing other than that the rainforest is always competing with agriculture for land, no matter how appealing the idyll may be, these pictures show the problem of the rainforest

That nature is facing increasingly pushed back, it makes room for a few farm animals, which are urgently needed to ensure the livelihood of the locals. The consequences are felt as far away as Europe. Climate change and the shift in climate zones

Begin with the excessive use of the rainforest. The green lung of the world has lung cancer only no one is interested [music] a sensitive indicator of the health of the rainforest are butterflies [music] these banana folds, for example, react sensitively to air pollution and

Pesticides. The smallest changes in the habitat lead directly to extinction because the complicated process from egg laying, caterpillar pupation and hatching does not tolerate any disturbance This swallowtail also belongs to them, which is extremely rare in the rainforest. Its diet is also highly specialized. Many butterflies of the

180,000 described species are threatened with extinction. The animals and plants form a sensitive construct in the tropical rainforest. Macaws live from bears and leaves at the same time a component of the food chain, at the end of which are the large predators.

Every link in this chain is an important building block for the continued existence of the rainforest ecosystem. Breaking away leads to the loss of the earth’s most important regulator for our climate. It doesn’t matter whether it is a cyanobacterium around a monkey or a snake they

All form the rainforest ecosystem climate change global warming and natural disasters are the result of a development that puts economic success above ecological requirements the harbingers of a developing catastrophe can be seen if you follow the climate reports in the news drought disasters in the grain world of the USA and floods

In Asia are as much a result of the overexploitation of the world’s rainforests as crop failures in regions that were previously considered reliable suppliers of food. We hope that this tree boa can live under the roof of the rainforest for a long time [Music] [ Music] We say goodbye to the rainforests of the Lamistad World Heritage Site. We leave with the knowledge that in a belt of 10 degrees around the equator, a nature is threatened whose protection is closely linked to the well-being of people. We have experienced the sensitive balance of the rainforest ecosystem and have found the

Fascination We didn’t meet this cornucopia of nature. We didn’t meet hobbits and dragons, but we understood why the rainforest has a touch of mystery, the cloud forests of La Ami city streams don’t give off the breath of death, but rather mean the opposite. As long as the mists

Are over the forests, he lives Rainforest and as long as the rainforest lives, man lives [Music]
