tropical rainforests in peril 5 reasons to be worried about
Tropical Rainforests in Peril - 5 Reasons to be Worried
One of the most vital components in the fight to slow the global warming dilemma is carbon sequestration. Tropical rainforests serve as natural carbon sinks, meaning they sequester carbon as part of their life cycle. Rainforests produce roughly 25% of the oxygen we breathe and absorb one-third of the CO2 in the atmosphere. With this knowledge in hand, why are we still cutting them down? #savetherainforests #treehugginmom

Nature Journaling in the 21st Century
When I was a park naturalist, nature journaling was seriously old-school.

Today, there are other, more tech-based ways to create a nature journal that will appeal to all ages. #naturejournaling #mynaturejournal #treehugginmom
