There are thousands of species of birds that live in the rainforest. Here are a few:
Here's a video featuring several species:

Just as with birds, there are many other animals that live in the rainforest. Here are a few:

Broadleaf evergreen trees dominate tropical rainforests.
Conifers are common in temperate rainforests.
NOTE: For visual learners, let Pathfinders draw an example from each kind of rainforest.

An epiphyte is a plant that grows on another plant but does not hurt the plant. It gets its nutrients from the air, rain, and sometimes from accumulating debris. These are very common in the rainforest. There is a very diverse variety and they grow in tropical rainforests, often in the canopy and emergent layer.
NOTE: If Pathfinders choose to make a plant collection, most of these are easy to find at a larger grocery store (or maybe your backyard if you live in a tropical rainforest). If they don’t choose a collection, they may still enjoy seeing a live plant as an example of how it “hangs on” to another plant.

There are many invasive species throughout different rainforests. Here is just one example:
The Wild Boar comes from Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean. It is transmitting diseases to local humans and is destroying local plants and crops which also affects the animals. The Wild Boar populations have been increasing in many places such as Australia, the United States, and the Amazon rainforest.

- Vast forests for outdoor recreation and ecotourism
- Lots of fresh air (oxygen)
- Stores carbon to help reduce the greenhouse effect
- Climate regulation
- Fruit such as bananas, mango, papaya, yams, macadamia, avocado, sugarcane
NOTE: Pathfinders might enjoy having a few food samples or seeing a few pictures from a rainforest tour.

Due to habitat loss, these are some ways to sustain what is left of the rainforests. It’s important to preserve the rainforest to help our climate, to protect biodiversity, and also for the sake of the indigenous peoples that make the rainforest their home.
- Visit a rainforest. Ecotourism helps local people make money from the rainforest without destroying it, so they are more likely to preserve the forest.
- Donate money to help conserve wildlife in these areas.
- Avoid buying products that were taken from rainforests by an unsustainable method.
- Tell others about what you have learned about the rainforest.
- Don’t keep pets that belong in the rainforest. It disrupts the ecological balance.

Here is one example:
A nurse log is a fallen and decaying tree that provides a nutrient-rich location for new trees to grow. This can happen in our lives as well. We all have sin in our lives and a life that needs to die so we can live like Jesus. Jesus will help us have a new life and grow beautiful things despite our pasts. We can have a more abundant life when we die to self.
2 Corinthians 5:17 - “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
