Your Mission, Project Thinker
Welcome to the Station! You are a rainforest researcher. Your job: build an ArcGIS StoryMap that tells the true story of El Yunque — a tropical rainforest in Puerto Rico, and the only tropical rainforest in the whole U.S. national forest system!
Everything you need is here at the Station: animals and plants to discover, news about how the forest is changing, videos to watch, and step-by-step help for building your map. Find facts and pictures you like, copy them, and use them in your StoryMap.
Welcome to the Station. You are a rainforest researcher, and your mission is to build an ArcGIS StoryMap about El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico — the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System, home to the coquí frog and the endangered Puerto Rican parrot.
Every wing of the Station was gathered from trusted sources like the U.S. Forest Service, so you can research freely: study the species, follow the climate story, watch the films, and use StoryMap HQ when you're ready to build. Every fact block has a Copy for your StoryMap button that brings its source along — that's how real researchers give credit.
