The Marvels of Tropical Rainforests: Riches, Wildlife, and Conservation
Tropical rainforests are abundant with treasures like diverse plant and animal species, resources such as oil and rubber, and essential contributions to medicine and industry. This ecosystem also hosts unique animals like poison arrow frogs, toucans, and sloths, along with fascinating plants like bromeliads, orchids, and carnivorous species. Despite their importance, rainforests face the threat of deforestation on a large scale, endangering their vital habitats. Understanding and conserving these remarkable environments is crucial for preserving their beauty and benefits for future generations.

RAIN FOREST Tropical rain forests are home to some of the world s greatest treasures: countless species of plants and animals, oil, rubber, precious metals, and much, much more. Many of these riches already benefit us humans. They contribute to medicines, foods, and industrial products.
ANIMALS POUSION ARROW FROG TOUCAN SLOTH There are about 40 different kinds of toucans. Sloths are extremely slow- moving mammals found in the rainforest canopies of Central and South America. Poison-arrow frogs are social frogs found in Central and South America. They are known by their bright colors which warn other animals that they are poisonous. They have short and thick necks. Toucans are distinguished by large, colorful, yet lightweight bills.
PLANTS BROMELIADS ORCHIDS CARNIVOURUS PLANT Bromeliads are related to the pineapple family. Orchids comprise one of the most abundant and varied of flowering plant families. There are over 20,000 known species and orchids are especially common in moist tropical regions. Some plants are adapted to obtain nutrients from animal matter. The best known of these is probably the Venus fly trap, but more impressive is the pitcher plant Nepenthes rafflesiana, found in southeast Asia.
CLIMATE Tropical rainforests are located North and South of the Equator between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. They have a warm and humid climate with lots of rainfall.
PROBLEMS The biggest danger to rainforests is deforestation.Forests cover about 30% of the planet, but deforestation is clearing these essential habitats on a massive scale.
