Who benefits from destruction of the Amazon Rain forest?
The only benefits these awful people get from cutting down the rain forest, is wood to trade. Sad isn't it. All this beautiful habitat destroyed by greedy men. ---- The ones who benefit, in the short term, are the farmers who are detsroying the habitat for more land, so they can increase their crop size. This is true, for example, of the cacao tree farmers who cut down the rainforest to increase the size of the cacao plantations - not realising, however, that the cacao trees need the rainforest for canopy cover.
What endangered animals live in temperate rainforests?
The rain forest is a region rich in biodiversity. Richer than any other biological region of our planet. However, it is not the largest biological region, nor is it protected in many areas in which it grows. Thus there are innumerable candidates which would fit your question. Many of these species are unknown to science, and may vanish before being documented. In South America Jaguar, some sloths, some cayman, many monkeys, birds, and innumerable insects (which sadly merit little of our concern) are endangered. In the rainforest's of Western Africa, Forest Elephant, Western and Eastern Gorilla, Brnaby, chimpanzee, Okapi, (once again) many insects, and many others are endangered. In the rain forests of Northern Australia, Cassowary, tree Kangaroo, birds of paradise, and some Adina are endangered. In Asia, Lions, Tigers, Asian Elephant, Orangutan, Clouded and Brennan Clouded Leopards, Rhino (of two species), and many other species are all endangered. Many of these species are Critically Endangered, and all require our aid to survive. About a specie disappears everyday in a rainforest when they are not even discovered yet! In any rainforest each tree may have it's species of wildlife that exist only on that tree. Any tree cut down or fallen may result in the extinction of those species.
