Would anyone look over this page and tell me if I need to add anything?

I want it to speak for itself and so I am trying to keep it factualand not make it preachy or judgemental. Could you hep me out. I feel passion for the topic and so... any advice would be appreciated :)

Hi @vicgoodwin your page looks like it is coming long nicely and you have done a good job so far. I have two positive suggestions for the page

1. The related Mahalo Pages section can be done differently with much better results. Using the "Text" section from the drop down menu in "guide note" you can get that section to look like this.

Once you have the section in there click edit and you should be able to use this as a model from my New England page. Using this method allows you to put as many related pages as you desire.

2. Your topic seems like the kind that would have active news stories going on around the world that are related to Tropical Deforestation. This will make adding to the Guide Note section easy for you. I would suggest adding a "Text" section to your Guide Note you can highlight some of these news stories by adding whole sections about them and as mentioned in this thread also, be sure to use citations.
Below is an example of how I did this on my Acadia National Park page after Hurricane Bill made a mess of the central Maine coast earlier this year.

If you need any other help or suggestions I will do my best to tell you what I can.. we are all learning this together.

Great looking page.
Very informative and the videos towards the top are sure to gain viewers attention.

Perhaps add a featured image towards the bottom with a description.....

Looks great I like it.
I see one improvement that you may want add though. Your Fast Facts need citations. All or most Facts need citations.

Your captions are really good for with the videos.

Hope this was helpful

The Mahalo answers section of the page does not have very relevant answers...

Other than that, great page, keep up the good work!
