Answer 1:

Think of the question a little more carefully, can they - not do they.

Fiordland Penguins are eligible to live in rainforests but live on the south-west coast of new zealand.

In other words - penguins CAN live in the rainforests but do not.

(They probably would if they could get there.)

Added to this, To date, at least 40,000 plant species, 3,000 fish, 1,294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles live in the Amazon Rainforest. They would all lose their habitats.

Why do people set fires in rainforests?

I"m no expert on fires and fire management but the following facts make sense. First of all there is large expanse of land and plenty of fuel(trees wood, dead leaves on ground, etc)( secondly there are no natural fire breaks(like walls of a building, etc or river banks) Finally they are usually out in the wilderness and identification and repsonse with fire-fighting teams is usually difficult and in some cases impossible, not the istuaion with a pull-alarm box on say, 23rd street in NYc. All of these factors combine including the sparse human population. Even politics can be weighed in if nobody lives there, why spend a lot of tax dollars on fire-control devices useless for anything else!-hence the Federal Govt steps in,=for example national parks. prevention is better than control here, Smokey the Bear was right! Ony You can Prevent Forest Fires!-smoke "em out.
