Rainforest Ecosystem - World's Most Biodiverse Region
The Largest Tropical Forest On Earth, With The Highest Density Of Plant & Animal Species.
The tropical rainforest biome is an ecosystem that covers about 7% of the Earth's surface. They are found all over the world but the majority of the tropical rainforest lies in South America in Brazil. The weather in the tropical rainforest is rainy yet pleasant all year round,

Is Harvesting PalmOilDestroying the Rainforests? ...
Deforestation is a significant contributor to climate change; when the forests are lost, carbon is released into the atmosphere, causing global warming.
One of the animals that has been used an icon to spread the message against unsustainable palmoil production is the keystone species of the Indonesian and Malaysian rainforests, the orangutan. These animals are of vital importance in the ecosystem as many species of seeds are dispersed with the help of the orangutans.
According to one study, palmoil cultivation was responsible for almost half the loss of rainforest in Indonesia between 2003 and 2015, and more than two thirds in Malaysia. Rainforest destruction,..

Palmoil is destroyingrainforests. But try cutting it out of your life. After spending years reporting on the controversial ingredient, a journalist grapples with her own consumption.
Oilpalm plantations currently cover more than 27 million hectares of the Earth's surface. Forests and human settlements have been destroyed and replaced by "green deserts" containing virtually no biodiversity on an area the size of New Zealand. The impact - suffering and death in producer countries, climate havoc

Is palmoildestroyingrainforests? EPOA fully recognizes the problem of deforestation and continued deforestation for palmoil in particular. Reviewing the causes of deforestation, including the deforestation of rainforests specifically, it is clear that we need to look at palmoil as well as other crops.
Palmoil is now the most widely used oil in the world. Food, household cleaners, personal care and cosmetics all contain it. But the way it's grown is unsustainable. In order to clear land to grow palm, swathes of rainforest are burned, destroying habitat and homes and the fragile rainforest ecosystem.
Palmoil production and deforestation go hand in hand. To build palmoil plantations, producers clear trees in tropical rainforests, destroying the biodiverse regions. Deforestation is a significant contributor to climate change; when the forests are lost, carbon is released into the atmosphere, causing global warming.
One of the animals that has been used an icon to spread the message against unsustainable palmoil production is the keystone species of the Indonesian and Malaysian rainforests, the orangutan. These animals are of vital importance in the ecosystem as many species of seeds are dispersed with the help of the orangutans.
More than 80 percent of the Indonesian rainforest, mangroves and peatlands most vulnerable to being cleared for palmoil production is completely unprotected by the country's Forest Moratorium,...
