tropical wet forests
Rain forests are thus named because of the abundant rainfalls they get in any given year, Tropical
rain forests are found near the Equator in southeast Asia ,New Guinea,Australia, sub-Saharan
Africa from Cameroon to the Congo, the Congo Rain forest, South America (the Amazon Rain
forest) ,Central America , and on many Pacific Islands (e.g.,Hawaii).
Rain forests house about half of all the animals and plants species on this planet..Tropical Rain
forests are divided into layers, each of which houses and nurtures its own flora and fauna. The
emergent layer is made up of large trees reaching heights of 45-55 meters. Below is the canopy
layer which contains trees from 30-45 meters high. The densest area in terms of biodiversity is
found in this layer. The understory is found between the canopy and the forest floor and it house a
great number of birds.
