Tropical rain forest is very important for our nature such as for ecosystem balance‚ earth temperature and flora and fauna habitat. In our country Malaysia‚ most of the forest are announced as a forest reserve to preserve our forest from destroyed. Not only important to flora and fauna but also to people. For some people‚ their lives depends on forest. However‚ deforestation activity by irresponsible people has led to imbalanced ecosystem. First of all‚ the effect of deforestation is pollution

know it is at stake. Forests‚ in particular‚ can be found all over the world and are a vitally important part of our planet because they cover much of its surface and are abundant with both animals and natural resources. From tropical forests to temperate forests‚ these habitats are all important. Humans exploit many of the products of these forests‚ particularly timber. Unfortunately‚ some do not harvest timber in a responsible‚ sustainable manner. Because of this‚ forests are shrinking‚ habitats

Some specific places this biome and climate exist is in Central America‚ South America‚ Africa and the Indonesian archipelago.

capturing the forests and making big buildings. Deforestation not only involves the tree destruction but also manages the wild animals. They as much block the natural circle and this ultimately results into race destruction. This action has long-lasting effect on the survival of human race. Deforestation involves the cutting down‚ burning‚ and damaging of forests. Deforestation can be defined as the change of forest with depletion of tree crown cover more than 90%. However‚ depletion of forest tree crown

from the forest forms clouds above the area and later falls as rain. When rain forests are cut down‚ much of the moisture in the ecosystem is lost‚ leading to droughts and further devastation of species. More than half of the world ’s estimated 10 million species of plants‚ animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests and one fifth of the world ’s fresh water is in the Amazon Basin (Rainforest Facts‚ 1996). To understand why deforestation is such a pressing and urgent issue‚ forests must first
