If you cannot find a word, use the Hint feature. Click the Hint button, and the first letter of one of the words in the word search flashes as your clue. You can only use this once.

• Almost one-third of the Earth's oxygen turnover is processed by rain forests.
• There are two kinds of rainforest, the tropical rainforest and the temperate rainforest.
• Due to exploitation of the rainforests including heavy logging and agricultural clearance, over 50,000 species are driven to extinction every year.
• Rainforests have four main layers: emergent, canopy, understory, and the forest floor.
