Conteúdo: | To build a constructive response to Vice President AI Gore's treatment of the science and ecology of tropical rain forests in his book, Earth in the Balance, it is important to outline some of the uni que and complex characteristics oftropical rain forests. Tropical rain forests represent some of the world's most diverse, rich, and uncharted ecosystems. In the following pages, I will describe a number ofthe basic characteristics ofrain forests and examine the Brazilian Amazon in depth. Because of growing public concern over the condition and management of tropical rain forests around the globe, it is imperative that researchers, govemment officials, environrnentalists, indigenous populations, the media, and concerned citizens work together to create the best rain forest management policies possible. The controversy over rain forest management stems in part from misinformation. The intemational media has cootributed to the general public fervor over the present and future condition of the Brazilian Amazon, and Earth in lhe Balance perpetuates some of the tropical rain forest myths.
