On June 22, World Rainforest Day, let’s head into the Hainan tropical rainforest, China’s densest, most bio-diverse, best preserved, and largest contiguous continental island tropical rainforest. This is one of the world’s most interesting biodiversity hotspots!

From the cheerful morning calls of the Hainan Gibbon to the Hainan Red Pines keeping watch over the world below, the many unique Hainan plant and animal species compose a resounding symphony of life within the rainforest. Let’s take closer look at the unique ‘stars’ of the rainforest on the posters below.

Protecting the rainforest means protecting our home, and keeping the ecological treasures of Hainan safe for the whole world to cherish. First, we see and learn about these creatures, then we begin to take action to protect them. Nature lovers around the world are invited to enjoy, visit, and join in the work of protecting this irreplaceable tropical rainforest for generations to come!
