Mongabay was born out of my love for rainforests so for this Valentine’s day, I’m doing something a little different: posting a bunch of my favorite rainforest photos from the past twenty years. There are no wildlife photos in this set — the focus is solely on rainforests. See All Key Ideas
Mongabay was born out of my love for rainforests so for this Valentine’s day, I’m doing something a little different: posting a bunch of my favorite rainforest photos from the past twenty years. There are no wildlife photos in this set — the focus is solely on rainforests.
If you’d like to follow our reporting on rainforests, check out our rainforests feed or our country and region-specific feeds for places like the Amazon and the Congo . There are many more rainforest photos in our image section .
For more general information on rainforests, see our main rainforest site and our rainforest site for kids .
Happy Valentine’s Day from Mongabay!
