- Summary:
- Located in America's Pacific Northwest is one of nature's most rare ecosystems, the temperate rainforest, a place where over 140 inches of rain falls each year. This timely documentary provides an illuminating portrait of this quickly vanishing treasure, which offers important opportunities to protect biodiversity and slow climate change. Retaining nearly 13% of its old-growth Douglas fir forests, the temperate rainforest is one of the most efficient storehouses of carbon; also it provides critical breeding and feeding habitat to a range of species.
