Hello my name is Jesse the Jaguar.  I will be your personal guide as you tour my home, the understory layer. 

Is that what you are planning on wearing?  The climate in my home is very different than what you are used to. 

As we prowl our way through the understory layer, you will captivated by the unique plants and animals that also call this layer their home.  These animals live here because it offers them all that they need to survive. 

My home today looks very different than it did years ago.  The rainforest provides many natural resources.  The natural resources that were once plentiful have decreased drastically.   The endless threats and destruction to my habitat can be seen all around us. 

Do you have your pencil ready?  The information you and your team gather and report to the public will help to save the rainforest, my home.
