Research Tropical Rain Forests. Do you think it is important to preserve these rainforests - and why? What is the best way we might go about doing this - especially considering we don't have any Tropical Rain Forests in this country?
Yes, I think it is significant to preserve what few hot Rain forests that are remaining. Tropical rain forests are one of the most bio-diverse and biologically important areas on the planet. Much of their living thing and stand life is unique and unreproduced anywhere else. Classification and farming are the two largest influences on the rain forest, causing many thousands of acres to become either deforested or even unfruitful. Rain forests are the prime land-based stand systems for the water and carbon cycles in the mood and groundwater; removing more and more of the rain forest causes the carbon cycle to become disturbed, with not enough carbon dioxide converted back to oxygen. The undergrowth in some areas of a rainforest can be restricted by poor penetration of sunlight to ground level. If the leaf canopy is destroyed or thinned, the ground beneath is soon colonized by a dense, tangled growth of vines, shrubs and small trees, called a jungle. There are two types of rainforest, tropical rainforest and temperate rainforest. It is important to preserve what few Tropical Rain forests that are remaining. The Tropical Rain forests provide the world with so many important tools for our survival. The rain forest is home to a variety of different animal species. Without the rain forest, the specific animals that must live there will become extinct. Animals need their habitat in order to survive. Also, the rain forest is the place where special and exotic plants are naturally grown. Most of the plants found within the rain forest provide us with several valuable medical plants. These medical plants are assisting scientists in the reach for cures to many diseases. Rain forests are being destroyed are for cattle ranching, industrial logging, agricultural purposes, mining operations, oil companies, the building of dams, and recreational uses. Since most of the rain forests are in South America near the equator, individuals in North America have little power in the preservation of the rain forest. We can preserve by recycling.
