One of the longer case study chapters for Earth's Natural System in Powerful Geography 1 is on Forests. Forests provide habitats for more than three-quarters of life on land. They are the largest terrestrial carbon sink, absorbing 2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum. The Boreal forest of Canada and the Congo Rainforest are examples explored. Modifications to forest environments through changes to land use, disrupt natural systems, fragment forests and compromise global biodiversity. Royal National Park Environmental Education Centre is offering a Rainforest field work excursion developed for Earth's Natural Systems. Field of Mars has been offering a Forest field work excursion for the old syllabus which should easily be adapted for the Earth's Natural Systems topic of the new syllabus. Illawarra Environmental Education Centre is offering a field work excursion on the Littoral rainforest of Minnamurra Spit. This is currently being offering for Ecosystems At Risk for the old Syllabus, but you may be able to negotiate for them to run it for Earth's Natural Systems in the new syllabus.
