The framed version is optimized for 800x600 monitors or higher. If you're using a smaller monitor, choose the Frameless version

Africa
Except for the Congo Basin, Africa's frontier forests have largely been destroyed, and most of those remaining are at risk.
Frames | Frameless Asia
Asia has lost almost 95 percent of its frontier forests, and most of what remains is confined to the islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Irian Jaya.
Frames | Frameless

South America
Logging is the main threat to South America's frontier forests. Only Brazil, Suriname, Guyana, Canada, Colombia, Venezuela, Russia, and French Guiana still have a large proportion of their original forest cover remaining in an unthreatened state.
Frames | Frameless North and Central America
North American forest ecosystems store a significant proportion of the global total of biotic carbon and supply much of the world's growing demand for forest products.
Frames | Frameless

Oceania
(Papua New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand) A high percentage of Australia's native species live nowhere else on Earth.
Frames | Frameless Europe and Russia
Russia contains earth's largest expanse of frontier forest.
