Laminated poster has white unprinted edges enclosing a black and red image of a forest fire. At the left, a monkey sits on a tree branch. Across the top is "rain forests are being destroyed" in black with the Weekkly Reader logo in black and "map-a-month" in red at the top right. At the right is a map of the world, with current rainforests shaded in green. Behind the green is red, showing how far the rainforests used to extend. To the bottom left of the map is a color photo of a green forest with a waterfall. To the bottom right is the aftermath of a forest fire, with human figures clearing burnt logs. Across the bottom of the poster are five columns of white text with four color images of birds, a butterfly, a frog and insects.
