Rain forest facts Most of Central and Latin America's tropical and temperate rainforests have been lost to cattle operations to meet the world demand, and still the cattle operations continue to move southward into the heart of the South American rainforests.

Grazing for one steer takes two acres of land away from the rainforest Grazing for one steer takes two acres of land away from the rainforest The roots of trees hold soil in place, so when there are no trees, rain washes away the fertile top soil, which contains the nutrients, and only the less fertile soil is left, which is not suitable for growing crops.

Rainforest Plants and Animals

Savannah Plants A savannah is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome. Not enough rain falls on a savannah to support forests. Savannahs are also known as tropical grasslands. They are found in a wide band on either side of the equator on the edges of tropical rainforests.

Savannahs are also known as tropical grasslands. They are found in a wide band on either side of the equator on the edges of tropical rainforests. Savannahs have warm temperature year round. There are actually two very different seasons in a savannah; a very long dry season (winter), and a very wet season (summer). In the dry season only an average of about 4 inches of rain falls. Between December and February no rain will fall at all. Oddly enough, it is actually a little cooler during this dry season. But don't expect sweater weather; it is still around 70° F.

Savannah Animals These different herbivores provide a wide range of food for carnivores, like lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals and hyenas. Each species has its own preference, making it possible to live side by side and not be in competition for food.

Each species has its own preference, making it possible to live side by side and not be in competition for food. In many parts of the savannas of Africa people have started using it to graze their cattle and goats. They don't move around and soon the grasses are completely eaten up. With no vegetation, the savanna turns into a desert. Huge areas of savanna are lost to the Sahara desert every year because of overgrazing and farming.
