Gerg's Evil Empire

Manakus, Brazil

Manakus used to be known as a leader in Rubber development. However, Gerg has recently 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 soon start destroying 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. The Tapir is also the region's largest land herbivore easily recognized by its unusual proboscis, which functions like an elephant trunk.

Are you interested in a little fact about why Logging is bad for both 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.
