Task One Tropical Rainforest

Conservation of the Tropical Rainforest at the Singapore Botanic Gardens The Tropical Rainforest at Singapore Botanic Gardens is 6 hectares of rainforest that has been conserved since Botanic Gardens opened. From the Botanic Gardens founding in 1857, the staff there have been conserving, collecting and documenting the rainforest for 150 years now***. Once, the rainforest started dying out, due to environmental conditions and death of trees. NParks Conservation Branch helped, and the rainforest was saved****.
But why should we continue conserving it?
More than 50% of the species in this patch of rainforest represent plants that are rare in Singapore**. Apart from housing rare plants in
Singapore, the tropical rainforest is the home of wildlife and tropical birds*.
I think we can all do our part in conserving the Tropical Rainforest. If we chop it down, we are losing regenerative sources of fuel, hope of curative medicines, and new species****. The rainforest is a thing to be conserved. Credits­
