In this unit you will be comparing differences in the subtropical rainforest of the Illawarra and the tropical forest of Borneo, Indonesia.  You'll learn how different perceptions of the significance of the rainforests have led to widespread habitat destruction in both rainforests, and that we have much to learn from Indigenous custodians of the land. 

A summative assessment option for the unit is to conduct an audit of your school environment in which to plant a small pocket of rainforest.
