Rainforest Conservation (View Only)

Location of Tropical Rainforests Rainforests are located near the equator and tropical zone. Because of there location, they receive a lot of rain. Unfortunately tropical rainforests make up less then two-percent of the earth’s total surface. Tropical Rainforests only make up six-percent of earth’s land.

Habitat Destruction in Rainforests Earth’s rainforests are the home to many unique species. When trees are cut down from rainforests, organisms loose their homes. This act is called Habitat Destruction. Habitat destruction is the process in which a natural habitat is made unable to maintain the needs of a species present.

Deforestation in Tropical Rainforests Deforestation is the removal of trees from an area of land. Deforestation is a form of habitat destruction. In rainforests deforestation is a result of hunting, farming and logging.

“Slash-and-Burn” Technique Farmers cut down and burn trees and plants in a small patch of rainforest. Then they use it as farm land for a while. Soon after, the soil looses nutrients because the trees are gone. Because the nutrients are gone, farmers can’t farm, so they slash-and-burn another patch of rainforest and the process continues.

Products from the Rainforest Many Americans unknowingly own a lot of products from the rainforest. Hardwoods, such as mahogany, teak and balsa woods are from rainforest trees. Many rare plants found in rainforests can be used to cure diseases and are found in every-day medicines. Alkaloids found in rainforests are beneficial to the medical field. Fruits such as guavas, bananas, papayas and mangoes, are also found in rainforests. Palm oil is found in rainforests, and is used in many food ingredients.

Facts About Rainforest Already 54% of the earth’s rainforests have been destroyed. Rainforests help regulate the earth’s temperature. Rainforests contain plants that could cure cancer.
