Reforestation: Measurements and Observations

Although this rainforest and many others are now protected by the Austrailian government, scientists realized these efforts were not enough. Protected rainforests are usually small and isolated from each other, which means they usually have little room to grow or the ability to support a wide variety of life forms.

From these measurements and observations, the SFS students should be able to help determine the success of reforestation in this protected rainforest.
