Year 11 Geographers- Pre-Release Info

Dear Lovely Geographers,

The pre-release this year is on rainforests, deforestation and a proposed road through the Peruvian Amazon. 

If you fancy doing a bit of wider reading around the subject then the following news articles may be of use:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/peru-rainforest-law-new-roads-approval-deforestation-a8174251.html

It is also going to be super important that you attend the revision session on rainforests running week beginning the first of April and complete the tasks for that week. 

It's a smashing topic to have the pre-release on, we're hopeful that the paper is going to be a good one for you all. 

Much Geography Love, 

Mr Smith & Mrs H-T
