Map the route to the Rainforest

An ideal start would be the whole class activity which is on your Teacher's Page. You read a detailed description to mark a map route from Anse La Raye to the rainforest in St Lucia. Ask your teacher to check it out. Or, you can try it with your group. Click on the Parrot Icon to see details.

Make a poster about the Rainforest

Create a dance about the destruction of the forest

Open the page called The Virgin Land. You will need to copy and paste it. Highlight all the things that have helped to destroy the rainforest. Don’t forget paragraph 7.
Using this information:-
a) As suggested on the web site, design a poster illustrating the slogan "Wherever you go - take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footsteps, kill nothing but time." Show all the things which have destroyed the rainforest in the past.
b) Create a dance which shows the destructive actions of the past gradually destroying all the positive things e.g. tall trees, huge tree ferns, vines, and the various inhabitants.

Prepare a leaflet "St Lucian Parrot and other creatures of the forest"

Open the two pages The Tall Trees and Parrots and Herons and research some of the living plants and animals mentioned. In particular find out about the rare St Lucian parrot, the Jacquot.

All three of these sites will give you much the same text but a variety of photos.

Find out what caused it to become endangered by reading the site below. You will need to scroll down to 'Island Star' and read the first six or seven paragraphs. Copy and paste this text onto a word processing page the highlight reasons why its numbers disappeared and how they resolved the problem.
