The crested forest toad featured in The Burning Issue

Debs on Oct 27th 2009

The Prince's Rainforests Project has just released a new online, interactive booklet that describes how rainforests are on the front line in the fight against climate change and explains how a new form of international collaboration could help to reduce tropical deforestation, with many benefits for developed and developing countries.

The book  features beautiful photographs by Daniel Beltrá including a stunning shot of a crested forest toad, one of the thousand or so species of frog and toad that live in the Amazon basin. The booklet contains a forward by HRH The Prince of Wales, as well as eyewitness stories from internationally-recognised figures who have already endorsed the PRP proposals, including Sir David Attenborough, Chief Almir of the Suruí tribe and Jared Diamond.
