They provide sanctuary to wild animals.Unfortunately‚man has been indiscriminately cutting down forests.This has resulted in a considerable decrease in rainfall in some places‚ and has caused floods in others.

Although Orang-utans would have once been found on a number of tropical islands in Indonesia‚ today they are confined to just two which are the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Their tree-dwelling lifestyle means that Orang-utans prefer dense tropical forests in the lowlands where there is a good supply of food. The Bornean Orang-utan is found in three remaining locations on Borneo but the Sumatran Orang-utan now only inhabits the very northern tip of Sumatra‚ with the majority of wild individuals being

Latin American and Caribbean countries houses more than 50 percent of the world’s tropical forests‚ 33 percent mammals‚ 33 percent reptiles‚ 40 percent birds and well over 50 percent of the amphibians in the world.

Research from Columbia’s Biodiversity reveals the copious life in this country. Colombia houses more life forms than most countries

In the country of Indonesia‚ more than sixty percent of carbon emissions comes deforestation of forests and peatlands; this alone‚ makes Indonesia the third worst country to produce greenhouse gas. Many forms of deforestation take place‚ but an illegal but popular method is the “slash and burn” method. Which burns forests and peatlands. In some cases‚ fires can continue burn for long periods of time‚ which emits an extreme amount of greenhouse gas. Peatlands

There can be found mangrove forests on the southern periphery of the island. Relatively flat lands are located in the eastern and southern portions around 50 to 100 meters from the shoreline where the settlements and agricultural lands are located (Mencias‚ 2008). The totality of the island is divided into forestland‚ grassland and farming and residential use. The island is mountainous and mostly forested that made some farmers in the community to engage in some forest activities such as kaingin

Ian Sample‚ a science correspondent for the guardian‚ wrote‚ “ Though few species are killed off directly in forest clearances‚ many face a slower death sentence as their breeding rates fall and competition for food becomes more intense” (Sample‚ 2012).

The tall trees and plants that grow high in the forest are the ones that get most of the sunlight for it covers the smaller trees and plants. It’s why most of the food for plant-eating animals grows far above the ground because competition for sunlight favors tall trees and plants that grow high in the forests. 3.1.3.
