Exploratorium: a potential design solution for the conservation of tropical rainforest

Forest plays a significant role in maintaining the balance cycle of our ecosystem. It consists of rich biodiversity, which is not only for animals and plants, but also a place for humans to explore and benefit from its resources; such as timber, water, herbs, gold, and oil. The rainforest in Malaysi...
