If you walk into a rainforest, you are immediately met by quite literally a forest of trees. All the tree trunks look like cathedral pillars, smooth and wet from the rain. Not a single branch emerges from the trunk for tens of metres - and when they do, you see a breathtaking interlocking jungle of branches and leaves, ferns and flowers, and all number of creatures great and small. The canopy is a bonanza of tropical forest life, in the bright light and gentle breeze - a far cry from the dark and humid underworld of the forest floor. Not surprising then that Sir David Attenborough knew this would be a perfect place to film wildlife. Producer: Julian Hector First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in February 2011.
