Armando knows every single inch of his lush rainforest home. He knows the sweet smell of the damp earth, the vivid colors of the canopy, and the exact sounds the monkeys make at dawn. The towering trees provide shelter not just for Armando, but for a magnificent variety of wild creatures living from the dark forest floor all the way to the bright emergent layer above. But the peace of the jungle is shattered when heavy machines arrive. As outsiders begin to violently chop down the trees, the frightened animals have nowhere to run. They desperately seek refuge with Armando in the last remaining patch of untouched woods, a small green sanctuary he calls his island. You will witness the heartbreaking reality of Amazon deforestation and discover the incredible importance of protecting our fragile natural habitats.
