HAVE A LOOK AT TROPICAL FOREST

WELCOME

Page 2: Aishwarya baed

"Tropical forests" encompass the idyllic rainforest, the remote cloud forest, and

the lesser-known but equally endangered dry forest, pine savanna and much,

much more. They are not one ecosystem, but millions of unique ecosystems.

Tropical forests are both the fearsome Jungle of our fantasy and the fertile Eden

of our myth. They are the central nervous system of our planet -- a hotbed of

evolution, life and diversity.

Characteristics of the tropical forest
