Coloring the Rainforest: The Plants & Animals of Madagascar (Green Again Madagascar Rainforest Coloring Books)

Green Again Madagascar is working hard to reforest the rainforests in Madagascar. And they need the help of young artists everywhere! Using exquisite drawings, word searches, fun facts, scientific names, dot-to-dots and stories, these colouring books were created to educate young people everywhere about the beautiful animals and plants living in the rapidly disappearing rainforest.Green Again invited artists from around the world to sketch the beautiful animals and plants that live in Madagascar because we know that people everywhere are interested in our rainforest! As young artists color these lemurs, frogs, trees and other rainforest dwellers, we hope they will learn a little more about how magnificent the rainforest is and what we can do to make sure it never disappears.The plants and animals in this book need our help. They live in the rainforest, which is disappearing quickly due to uncontrollable fires and foreign plants that invade and take over the soil. Over 7,000 species of plants and unique wildlife live in the rainforest, and these special creatures are found nowhere else on Earth. After a century of deforestation, Malagasy rainforest now occupies only 11% of its former area. Did you know that Green Again is a group of farmers living in Madagascar and working every day to save the rainforests from fire and climate change? We are also ecologists. We know how to grow delicious fruit and rice, so we are of course well-qualified to grow new trees in the rainforest. Every day, we plant new trees, take care of young growing trees and measure how tall and wide each tree is becoming. We record all of the scientific data so that soon everyone can study the best methods for restoring the rainforests. So far, our group of farmers has planted over 50,000 trees!This coloring book will help these farmers do even more. When a young artist buys a Green Again coloring book, the farmers planting trees in Madagascar benefit directly. The money will help them with new tools to make their job of reforestation easier and more efficient. It will also spread the beauty of Madagascar’s plants, animals and people to those who love lemurs and frogs as much as we do! Read more
