Saving Earth's lungs in Sumatra


Call of the wild: At 16, Philippe Cousteau went on expeditions with his father¿s friends, getting his first exposure to adventure and exploration.

A new series takes a look at Sumatra’s depleting rainforest.

The rainforests of the world are being depleted, that’s a known fact. They are known as the lungs of the planet because of their important ability to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. The former is a greenhouse gas while the latter is needed by living creatures. Because they provide balance to the world’s climate and maintain the water cycle, their disappearance is all the more worrying because of climate change.
