The Eco Kids travel to the world's second largest island – New Guinea. Almost three-quarters of this tropical land is lush, dense rainforest – the third largest rainforest in the world (after the Amazon and the Congo). The island is also home to some of the largest mangrove forests, arid savannahs, rugged hills, deep river valleys and mountain summits permanently covered in snow. Its coastal waters have beautiful reefs, alive with a huge variety of fish and coral. Its climates vary enormously. As a visitor, you might be battered by violent rainstorms, conked out by sweltering heat and humidity, or stranded in a snowstorm! The island of New Guinea is certainly one of a kind.
