Good Sources

I will list all kinds of websites, books, magazines and co. for good information on the Amazon Rainforest. The list will be updated, and you may add your ideas to the list too, so everyone can share the knowledge. So, here's the list (it's short now, but remember, it will be updated with your help):

http://mongabay.com/
Mongabay has information on all the major tropical rainforests of the world. Most of my research is based on their info. Good site

http://amazon-river.swicki.com/
A great portal and gathering place for more specific info on the Amazon. Works like a search engine, only focusing on the Amazon.

http://mrnussbaum.com/amazon.htm
Not as scientific as the first two ones, but a very, very nice website for children (not stupid or simple in any way though). A very nice website!

http://amazon-rainforest.org/
Nice infos.

http://florabrasiliensis.cria.org.br/
Under this website you can view Flora brasiliensis, a work published in the years between 1840 and 1906 about the Brasilian flora. And under
http://flora.cria.org.br/
you can see the newly edited web-version of it with taxonomic classifications and other info.

BRAZILIAN NATURE - Mystery and Destiny (by the FAPESP, who also publish the Brazilian science magazine Pesquisa FAPESP)
This (I think) non-recurring brochure/magazine/booklet was published as part of the Brazilian Nature exibition in the Berlin botanical garden - thus it is in German. It basically describes how the Flora brasiliensis was developed by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius and parts of Brazil.

GEOlino extra Nr. 6
GEOlino is a German magazine too. For all those who do speak German, this is a source. Actually it is for children, but it does give good stories and infos for "non-children" too (at an easier digestable stage). Especially nice is its visualization.

wikipedia does give good backup information, cannot be entirely trusted (especially in numbers) though, so you should always check the information there

That's it so far, but I'm waiting for your help, ideas and opinions!
