Saving the rainforest
This document discusses rainforests and their importance. It provides information on the diversity of plant and animal species found in rainforests. However, rainforests are being destroyed at an alarming rate, threatening many species. Several organizations are working to protect endangered rainforest areas and species, such as the Jocotoco Foundation which buys and manages forest reserves in Ecuador.
The amazon forest
The Amazon rainforest spans several countries in South America and contains the greatest biodiversity on Earth. It experiences a hot, humid climate year-round between 22-34°C due to its proximity to the equator. The Amazon River, born in the Andes Mountains, is the largest river in the world by volume and flows through the forest before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. Over 20 million people from diverse indigenous tribes and cultures call the Amazon rainforest home. However, illegal logging has led to the deforestation of over 700,000 square kilometers of forest in Brazil alone in the past few decades.
Ecosystem
The tropical rainforest provides the most luxuriant vegetation on Earth, with trees growing over 40 meters tall to reach sunlight. It contains a wide variety of species and is found naturally in southern Brazil. In contrast, the Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world, located in North Africa. It is a very dry place with few animals able to survive due to the heat, except for some adapted plants like cacti.
Amazon rainforest
The Amazon rainforest is home to the largest collection of plant and animal species in the world. It contains the largest and most biodiverse tropical rainforest and is often called "the lungs of the planet". While 60% is located in Brazil, the Amazon spans 9 countries and covers over 1.7 billion acres across South America. Despite occupying such a vast area, much of the Amazon remains unexplored, holding potential cures for diseases. It is a region of immense natural beauty that deserves protection.

Pfeiffer - Save the Rainforest
Deforestation is threatening rainforests and the plants and animals that live in them. Around 50,000 indigenous people also call the rainforests home. Rainforests are being cut down at an alarming rate of 6,000 acres per hour, often to make way for logging and agriculture. However, rainforests provide humans with many important resources like medicines and foods. To help save the rainforests, the author pledges to spread awareness and get others involved through activities like making posters and talking to friends and family.
Habitat reading texts
The document describes several habitats of the world including polar regions, deserts, oceans, jungles/rainforests, and mountains. The polar regions are the Arctic and Antarctica, home to polar bears, snowy owls, and orca. Deserts are very dry places where kangaroo rats, cacti, and desert foxes have adapted to live. Oceans cover 70% of the planet, with the largest being the Pacific Ocean which contains 25,000 islands and sharks, turtles, and seahorses. Jungles are brighter than rainforests and allow plants to grow more easily, sheltering monkeys and jaguars. Mountains form from volcanic eruptions and provide shelter,
Planet Amazon
The document discusses key facts about the Amazon region, including:
1) The Amazon forest spans eight countries in South America and covers over 5.5 million square kilometers, with over 3.3 million square kilometers located in Brazil.
2) The Amazon River and its many tributaries form the world's largest river basin and hydrographic system.
3) The Amazon is a vital source of biodiversity, containing around one third of the world's remaining rainforests, and is home to millions of species of plants, animals, insects, and fish.

Cyprus has many beautiful beaches along its coastline that are popular tourist destinations, such as Ayia Napa and Protaras. The island receives over 2 million tourists annually, ranking 6th globally in tourist arrivals relative to its local population. Some areas of natural beauty in Cyprus include the Akamas Peninsula, known for its biodiversity, and Cape Greco, which has a scenic rocky coastline and caves. Cyprus is also home to rare plants and animals, and is an important stopover for migratory birds like flamingos.
5th Period Tropical Rain Forest
The tropical rain forest biome has a warm, equatorial climate. It contains plants like Bengal bamboo and animals that have adapted to the heat, such as hummingbirds, snakes, and jaguars with short fur. Humans have reduced the tropical rain forest from 14% to 6% of global land area, endangering oxygen production and medical plant life within.
Amazon Rainforest Presentation
The document discusses the importance and threats facing the Amazon rainforest. It is home to over 50,000 species per square mile and provides oxygen and houses cures for diseases. However, deforestation is destroying the rainforest at a rate of 1.5 acres per second through logging, mining, cattle ranching, and other commercial activities. This is having devastating impacts on the environment and indigenous communities who call the forest home. Conservation groups are working to protect the rainforest but more must be done to combat deforestation and ensure the rainforest's survival.
Rainforest comparisons
The Amazon and Daintree rainforests differ in several key ways:
The Amazon rainforest, located in South America, is over 5.5 million square kilometers while the Daintree rainforest in northeastern Australia covers only 1200 square kilometers.
The rainforests face different threats - the Amazon struggles with logging while the protected Daintree rainforest contends with invasive feral pigs.
Both rainforests are home to diverse plant and animal life and are protected, with the Amazon supported by the WWF and the Daintree within the Daintree National Park.

Amazon rainforest
The document provides an overview of the Amazon rainforest, including its location, structure, climate, inhabitants, resources, importance, threats from deforestation, and conservation efforts. Specifically, it notes that the rainforest spans many South American and African countries near the equator, contains many layers of vegetation up to 70 meters tall, has a warm, humid climate without distinct seasons, and is an important source of oxygen, water, minerals, and biodiversity for the planet. However, deforestation from agriculture, logging, pollution, and other abuses threatens this critical ecosystem, though some national parks like Manu's Park in Brazil are working to protect endangered species and rescue the rainforest.
Rain forest
Tropical rainforests are located in the tropics near the equator and are characterized by tall trees, warm climates, and heavy rainfall. They receive at least 80 inches of rain per year and have a dense canopy layer of treetops that is home to most plant and animal life. Rainforests contain high levels of biodiversity and many species that interact symbiotically. They are being destroyed at an alarming rate due to human activities like logging, agriculture, and development. Saving the remaining rainforests will require global efforts to protect these vital ecosystems.

Help Save The Rainforest!
The document discusses rainforests and provides reasons to help save them. It notes that rainforests are very hot and humid forests that receive a large amount of annual rainfall. They contain a high number of plant and animal species and provide important ecosystem services like contributing to the water cycle and climate regulation. The document urges readers to help save rainforests by reducing paper and plastic use, eating less red meat, and being mindful about wood products. It lists five additional facts about rainforest layers, age, rainfall recycling, inability to regrow once destroyed, and notes the largest is the Amazon.
Rainforests
Rainforests are dense forests found near the equator that receive a high amount of rainfall each year. They exist in layers from an emergent layer of tall trees reaching 70-80 meters to a forest floor layer of shorter plants 3-5 meters high. The two main types are tropical rainforests near the equator and temperate rainforests at higher latitudes. Tropical rainforests have warm, moist climates and contain a majority of the world's plant and animal species. Famous rainforests include the Amazon, Daintree in Australia, and Atsinanana in Madagascar, all of which are threatened by deforestation.
Mysterious facts of AMAZON RAINFOREST
The document provides information about the Amazon rainforest, including its location in South America spanning Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia; its immense size of over 2 million square miles, equal to the continental US; and its biodiversity being home to 10% of the world's known species including over 2 million insects, 1,294 birds, and 427 mammals. It also notes the rainforest produces 20% of the world's oxygen and is an important source of medicines and foods for humans.
Coral Tilly
Rainforests play a critical role in absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen for all animals. They stabilize the climate, house incredible biodiversity, and produce rainfall around the world. Coral reefs are similarly biologically diverse ecosystems in the ocean, supporting thousands of marine species and protecting coastlines. Both ecosystems are vitally important for sustaining life on Earth through their roles in climate regulation and provision of resources.
Help Save The Rainforest!
The rainforest is a dense and ecologically important ecosystem that contains tremendous genetic diversity and potential medical benefits, yet it is being destroyed rapidly. The document urges readers to help save the rainforest by adopting more sustainable habits like using phosphate-free cleaners, recycling, and buying organic in order to preserve this rich resource and curb climate change.

Forest, Our Lifeline
The document discusses forests and their importance. It provides details about the different layers of a forest, including the canopy, understory, and forest floor. It explains that forests are vital because they produce oxygen, store carbon, purify water, and provide resources and habitat. Maintaining forests is important for both environmental and economic reasons.
Lungs of the planet earth
Forests are the lungs of the earth. It is the trees which absorb the carbon dioxide released by the burning of fuel by man and keeps the air fresh.
The leaves use this carbon dioxide to produce food during photosynthesis, which is needed by animals.
The leaves after photosynthesis release oxygen which is a by- product of photosynthesis into the atmosphere.
This oxygen in the atmosphere is needed by all living organism for respiration. Without oxygen no animal or plant can survive on this earth!
The roots of trees help in absorbing the water from the ground and bring it up to the leaves. The excess water is sent out through the stomata and so the water vapour is released into the atmosphere.
Topic
Rainforests provide habitat for many species of plants and animals, regulate the climate, prevent soil erosion, and are home to indigenous people. They store large amounts of water and carbon while their soils have few nutrients. Deforestation damages the land and threatens over half of the world's plant and animal species. Rainforests are an important source of medicines, foods, and industrial products.
Onilne ppt: Natural resourses
This document discusses different types of natural resources including forests, wetlands, mangroves, and sacred groves. Forests cover 9.4% of the earth's surface and function as habitats and regulators of hydrologic and soil processes. Wetlands occur where water is the primary factor and include marine, estuarine, lacustrine, riverine, and palustrine types. Mangroves provide nursery habitats for wildlife and maintain coastal water quality. Sacred groves in India are densely wooded areas left for religious purposes that conserve biodiversity and retain water and soil.

Chapter 7 Interaction and Interdependence
This document discusses different types of ecosystems. It defines interaction and interdependence as the variety and variability among organisms within ecological complexes. There are two main types of ecosystems - natural ecosystems which form without human intervention and have high biodiversity, and man-made ecosystems which are constructed by humans. The key ecosystems are terrestrial ecosystems which occur on land, and aquatic ecosystems which include freshwater and marine habitats. Examples of terrestrial ecosystems provided are grasslands, chaparral, and temperate and tropical forests. Freshwater ecosystems include streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands while marine ecosystems cover most of the Earth's surface and contain oceans, coral reefs and estuaries.

- 1. The Destruction ofthe Amazon Rainforest Aisha Brown
- 2. A rainforest is a tropical land, that’s usually tall with broad-leaved trees in an area which gets a lot of rain. Most rainforests are located around the middle of the earth near the equator. Many plants and animals live there. Rainforests are very important to the earth and are also beneficial to us. They help clean the air that we breathe. Rainforests are not only good for cleaning air, but they also give us chocolate, sugar, cinnamon, and medicine. The Amazon rainforest is a good example of this. The Amazon Rainforest is located in Brazil but it is also located in other South American countries including Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Guyana, Bolivia, Suriname and French Guiana. This Rainforest has been known as the biggest rainforest in the world. It’s also been known as “Lungs of our Planet” because it provides the essential cycle of turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.
