Wetlands fact sheets See also: Review of regulations under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 Wildlife Biodiversity Plants ... Habitats Rainforests From the mist-shrouded forests of the border ranges to the stunted scrubs of Cape York Peninsula, Queensland has the most diverse rainforests in the world. Rainforest is dense, moisture-dependent vegetation where a variety of shade-tolerant plants grow beneath an almost closed canopy. If this vital ecosystem is to survive, remaining areas of rainforest must be protected. Rainforest history As Australia drifted towards the tropics and conditions became drier, the Gondwanan rainforests almost disappeared. Grasslands and woodlands took over from rainforests. But scattered rainforest pockets remained in refuges on mountain tops and in protected valleys. In the two centuries since Europeans came to Australia, half the rainforest has been cleared for farms, mines, plantation forests, towns and resorts. Rainforest types Queensland is the only place in the world with all types. Rainforests in Queensland range from evergreen (leaves always present) to semi-deciduous (trees lose leaves during the dry season).

Shoulder-Season South America from Away.com DESTINATIONS A Walk in the Treetops A Bird's-eye View of Kakum National Park Contributed by Sharon Safran, Conservation International The long-tailed Verreaux's Touraco floats down from the sky. From your vantage point on the canopy walkway, you see a brilliant flash of red on the wings of this magnificent bird as it lands a few feet away to settle on a Kuntan tree, one of the tallest trees in the forest canopy. This is something you'd never see from the forest floor. Located in Kakum National Park in the West African country of Ghana , Africa's only canopy walkway is suspended 100 feet above the ground, offering you what is truly a bird's eye view of the rainforest. At this height, you don't have to be an expert to identify the colorful patterns of tropical birds as they glide through the forest below you. "The slight swaying is intimidating, but it's an incredible sensation to walk along it. The experience is pure adrenaline, and is definitely not for people with a fear of heights," said Mari Omland, project manager of the Ghana program at Conservation International. Despite its scary appearance, expert designers and climbers were consulted throughout all the phases of its construction, to ensure that the walkway was safely built and able to meet world-class safety standards.
