Cam's Recommendations:

"When many people think of rainforest, they tend to visualise of steamy tropical jungle. For me, I dream of the cool temperate forests that exist up high in mountains or a long way north or south of the equator. My recommendations reflect this pre-occupation, which is not to say all those tropical wonderlands aren't equally amazing. It also tends to focus on Australia – which is better known for being hot and dry – but still has some pockets of rainforest unlike anything else on the planet."
