the rain forests are hard and grueling especially in summer when it reaches up to 40 degrees Celsius.
It also is hard because the animals in the rain forest lose their homes each and every day.

What are the four layers in the rainforest?
Emergent layer where trees poke higher, canopy layer thick shelter made by trees overlapping, understory layer where the trunks and ferns etc are and the floor where more plants, ferns, baby trees and leaves are, the leaves get so thick that they become a carpet.
Why is people cutting down the trees?
Sequoia trees are very large and they contain a huge quantity of very good quality lumber, which can be used to build houses, or furniture, or many other useful things. People naturally wanted to make use of this valuable resource.
What percentage of the Earth do the rain forests now cover?
3% of earth's surface is covered by rainforest's.
What animals live in tropical monsoon forests?
that species live in the tropical dry forest
The above sentence is inadaquate. I have done research on the tropical dry forest and I acknowledge that there is very little information on this subject. However, I have found that endangered animals of the tropical dry forest include the Kouprey (a species of wild cattle specific to Indochina), the Orange-necked partridge (also of Indochina), the Black-and-tawny seedeater from the Chiquitano forest of South America, the Ploughshare Tortoise (from Madagascar), the Timor python and the Komodo dragon, both of which dwell in the forests of the Lesser Sunda Islands in the Java Sea.
What to bring to the rain forest?
First aid kit, extra batteries/flashlights (in case if youre going to go in the wild or if there's a blackout)
What people are living in the rainforest?
People live all over the rain forest. Most live in very large communal huts with each families own separate part.Some actually live in the rainforest. For example, the Tukano tribe live in the amazon rainforest. They clear the forest using the slash and burn method which is where the chop down the trees and then burn them.However, after a few years of living in that spot, they move so that the land can become fertile again after the plants and crops had taken all the nutrients out of the soil.Then after about 15 years they will move back to the spot in which they were originally in. This means that they don't waste lots of forest and let it grow back.The people of the rainforest need to know how to live in one without damaging it. the people of the rainforest have NO musical instroments so they make there own. some rainforest people have made therte own harp by stiking a strong stick in the ground attatch a peice of string and pull and push the strong stick. this will make a sound like a harp.
What are tropical rain forest climate zones?
A tropical rainforest is usually found at latitudes within ten degrees North and South of the equator, which are dominated by the Intertropical Convergence Zone. The climate is most commonly found in Southeast Asia, Central Africa and South America.
Where do you find temperate rainforests?
Rainforests typically occur along the equator. This is due to the climate there. It is much warmer all year round, allowing for a growing season year-round. Also, that location receives a lot of rain all year, instead of in seasons.
How Amazon rainforest benefits the world?
There are very few advantages to developing the Amazon rainforest, and most of them will soon disappear.
Land occupied by rainforests is seldom suitable for any kind of intensive farming since the soil isnit sufficiently rich to support the growing of crops. Even used as grazing land the nutrients in the soil are used up quite quickly so that more forest must then be destroyed to create new grazing land.
The advantages of developing the rainforest are that it the timber can be exported to rich countries for use in the manufacture of furniture, etc., and grazing land can be used to raise cattle to provide meat.
But this isn't an unlimited process. Once a tree is gone, it's gone, and again this "advantage" can only be sustained if more and more trees are cut down.
Unless the process is halted and reversed it is quite possible that much of the land around the Amazon river and it's tributaries will become a desert.
But does this only affect the area around the Amazon? Unfortunately not.
Trees "breathe in" carbon dioxide (which we breathe out), and "breathe out" oxygen (which we breathe in). The Amazon rainforest was therefore the largest resource of naturally-produced oxygen, In the world.
Of equal importance is the "green house effect". This refers to the fact that a steadily growing layer of carbin dioxide in the atmosphere stops the natural release of heat out into space. Instead it is trapped and recirculated, slowly but steadily raising the temperature at the Earth's surface.
An important cause of the rising level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the fact that less and less of it is being converted back into oxygen - by plant resources such as the Amazon rainforest.
Added to that, beef cattle produce substantial amounts of methane - another gas that helps to create the green house effect. So the destruction of the rainforest to proved land for raising beef is a doubly dangerous attack on the Earth's capability to support life.
The more the Amazon and other rainforests are chopped down, the faster the green house effect intensifies and the closer the time when life forms on Earth, such as you and me, will no longer be able to survive.
How long will it take? Who knows, we've never faced a situation like this before.
Can the situation be reversed? Again, who knows. But we can at least be sure that things will only get worse as long as we don't do anything about it.
How much of Brazil is covered by rainforest?
Brazil has the majority of the Amazon rainforest, with 60 percent within its borders. The Amazon rainforest [Floresta Amazonia] covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. The Basin totals 7 million square kilometers [1.7 billion acres]. The rainforest covers 5.5 million square kilometers [1.4 billion acres]. This area includes territory belonging to nine countries. Peru has 13 percent. The remainder is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.
