Tropical+Rain+Forest+Conservation

Welcome to the Tropical Rain Forest Conservation Page!! By Bailey B, Joey M, and Connor Z The negative impact that people have had on the tropical rain forest is that they have been chopping down all of the trees for different uses such as mulch and furniture. This is not only a problem for the trees, but for the animals as well. Animals such as birds no longer have a home once the trees have been chopped. Rain forests used to cover 14% of the world’s surface, now they only cover 6%. However, increase in tourism has also increased awareness about deforestation. More and more rain forests are being protected by wildlife organizations. Money paid for entrance to national rain forests parks is then used to buy protected acres of rain forest land.


 * One problem being faced in the rain forest is that people remove plants from the rainforest for medicines, herbal shampoo, and some perfumes. This is terrible because we may be endangering the species when they are probably important to other organisms. So, we need a solution to this problem, but how could we stop the madness. Well we could educate the people that harm the biome so that they realize what they are doing and use different methods to get perfumes, shampoo, and medicine. We could also buy an acre of rain forest so that it is protected from harm. **



Hunters kill 60-70% of animals in the tropical rainforest. Since hunters kill so many animals it affects the food web or cycle. Animals start dying from starvation because their prey has been hunted and killed. So, with the food web being disrupted by hunters, there is a huge problem to be solved in the rainforest. I think a great solution would be to make a territory for the animals and making it illegal to hunt on. Hunters then stay off the territory and hunt on a small area for hunting. Also, these creatures won’t become endangered because of us.
