In honor of Rainforest Adoption Day we threw a rainforest quiz party. Dinos had been studying up on their rainforest knowledge from the week and we put their knowledge to the test! It wasn’t just a quiz though, we learned a lot about the rainforests too! From simple facts to what is happening in the rainforests today, it was an enlightening party. Here are just a few of the things we learned about rainforests:

Rainforests cover only about 2% of the Earth’s surface but hold over 50% of its plants and animals.

Many ancient civilizations such as the Aztec and Maya thrived in the rainforest and humans still live in them today

A chunk of the rainforest the size of New Jersey is lost every year due to logging and other human practices

Rainforests are essential to the global climate, sucking up carbon dioxide to help prevent global warming

Fittingly, we held the party in our very own rainforest landscape in Webosaurs on the Forest Floor. It was great to see everyone out today talking about the rainforests and sharing our knowledge. Everyone who participated will be receiving a golden Webopedia trophy. Thanks guys!

In case you didn’t know, this Saturday is Rainforest Adoption Day. To celebrate the rainforests we’re going to throw a rainforest quiz party at 12:00 WST at the Forest Floor in the Jurassic server on Saturday.

Rainforests are a precious resource on earth holding over 50% of the world’s flora and fauna. Rainforests used to cover 14% of the earth’s surface and now the cover only 6%. Rainforest Adoption Day encourages people to give back to the rainforests and help non-profit organizations save these beautiful places.

Our quiz will be on generalized facts about the rainforest. Study what you can about them and I promise I’ll take it easy on you guys

There will be about 20 questions to answer and the first person to answer each one will get a gold Webopedia trophy! Can’t wait to see you all there and see how much you know about the rainforests.
