The tropical rainforest has year-round warm temperatures between 72-93 degrees Fahrenheit with high rainfall between 50 to 260 inches per year. It contains many unique plant and animal species like bromeliads, carnivorous plants, orchids, epiphytes, spider monkeys, toucans, poison arrow frogs, and sloths. However, over half of the world's original rainforests have been destroyed by human activity such as logging, agriculture, and development which is threatening many species and contributing to climate change.

3.  The tropical rain
forest is a forest of
tall trees in a region
of year-round
warmth. An average
of 50 to 260 inches
(125 to 660 cm.) of
rain falls yearly.

4.  - Uniform Temperatures at about
72-93F (22-34C),
 - Annual 80F (27C)
 - No apparent seasonal changes in
the rainforest. They almost have no
seasons but “dry” and “wet” seasons
which has more to do with the
rainfall when earlier in the year
there is less rainfall and later there
is more. The “dry” and “wet”
seasons vary upon year.

5. Bromeliads
(Bromeliaceae)
Carniverous Plants
(D. muscipula)
Orchids
(Orchidaceae)
Epiphytes
(Air Plants)

6. -Spider Monkey
(Ateles)
-Toucan
(Ramphastidae)
Poison-Arrow Frog
(Dendrobatidae)
Sloth (Bradypus)

8.  - Gorillas
-West Central African rainforests
primarily in Zaire, Rwanda, and
in the Congo River Basin.
Threatened by loss of habitat,
hunting for bushmeat and the
Ebola Virus.
-Toucans
South and Central American
Rainforests
Threatened by loss of habitat, and
capture for commercial pet
market

9. Negative
 -Humans have cut down
and destroyed more than
half the world's rainforests
for its timber, minerals and
for place to settle in.
 -Contributed to by
overpopulation and
overuse for agriculture.
 -Destroying about 93,000
square miles a year.
 increase in tourism has
increased economic support,
allowing more revenue to go
into the protection of the
habitat.
 it has the potential to
increase public appreciation
of the environment and to
spread awareness of
environmental problems
when it brings people into
closer contact with the
environment.
