My project was over the tropical rainforest biome. The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50-260 inches (125-660) cm of rain falls yearly. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100-300 species in one 2 ½ acre area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. There are a couple of topics that can be discussed within this biome such as

There are many ways in which the rainforest is exploited. Many of these ways are damaging to the environment. Rubber tapping causes almost no damage to the rainforest. Rubber tapping takes the natural latex from the tree by scraping grooves into the surface of the tree. The natural latex then falls into a cup‚ and is removed and processed to make the rubber. Rubber trees are quite rare - in a thirty square kilometre area‚ with 20‚000 trees‚ there may be just sixty rubber trees. Timber logging causes

Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest and development in the rest of Brazil had led to many conflicting interests in the Amazon region. This is a global issue and can affect many lives e.g by global warming and other factors. The Brazilian rainforest is being used for natural resources‚ which is in great demand. This leads to deforestation (clearance of forest land). The rainforest is so important to people because without it there would be loss of wildlife‚ loss of medicine‚ soil erosion‚ decrease

How does deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest affect the environment? The Amazon Rainforest‚ located in the northern part of South America‚ is the largest rainforest on Earth‚ containing more than 60% of Earth’s fresh water‚ over 20% of oxygen on Earth‚ and huge amounts of carbon dioxide (ACEER). However‚ the Amazon Rainforest has been deforested principally in order to provide land for the locals who were homeless due to poverty‚ overpopulation‚ and government policies.
