Gerg's Evil Empire

Manaus, Brazil

This city used to be known as a leader in Rubber development; however, recently Gerg set up an illegal lumber company to begin stripping the land of its incredible resources. The FlopAlongs will have to act fast to help their brothers and sisters located near these lumber zones. If they don’t hurry Gerg will be on a war path to destroy 1000's of acres of Rainforest in the Amazon.

The Tapir

One of the oldest Brazilian Amazon animals, the tapir is the world's most primitive large mammal. Also the region's largest land herbivore, the tapir is easily recognized by its unusual proboscis, which functions like an elephant trunk.

And are you interested in a little fact about why Logging is bad for the FlopAlongs and us?

* Logging is one of the most prominent and best-known forms of rainforest degradation and destruction. Despite improved logging techniques and greater international awareness and concern for the rainforests, unsustainable logging of tropical rainforests continues—much of it practiced illegally by criminal syndicates. These acts destroy ecosystems in minutes leading to the displacement and death of many animals and unknown plant life.
