My son has an assignment on tropical rainforests?

Question

He is in year 9.(almost 14 years old) He has to pick a tropical rainforest to write about, any one apart from the Brazilain rainforest. Does anyone have any suggestions of a website where he can find names of rainforests and information on them.
Thanks

Answer 1

Borneo & Indonesia have one of the last large untouched rainforrests left in the world - home to the endangered orangutang - one of natures greatest tricks yet. The mighty orangutang has twice the strength of a fully grown chimp (about 20 times the strength of a man - cool fact for your sons project). Unfortunately these amazing creatures are clinging on by their super strong fingertips due to mans massive deforrestation projects that are (illegally) underway in the region.

Perfect. I come from Malaysia, a land with rainforests centuries old. If you could go to www.wikipedia.org and look for tropical rainforests or search for malaysian tropical rainforests in www.google.com you'll find plenty to write about. Dun worry i did yr9 before.

Hello, he probably has been given the project as its national rainforest week. Try the link below which not only gives details of lots of rainforests but also gives lots of information about what is happening with them.

Answer 5

The largest tropical rainforests exist in the Amazon Basin (the Amazon Rainforest), in Nicaragua (Los Guatuzos, Bosawás and Indio-Maiz), the southern Yucatán Peninsula-El Peten-Belize contiguous area of Central America (including the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve), in much of equatorial Africa from Cameroon to the Democratic Republic of Congo, in much of southeastern Asia from Myanmar to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, eastern Queensland, Australia and in some parts of the United States. Outside of the tropics, temperate rainforests can be found in British Columbia, southeastern Alaska, western Oregon and Washington, Scotland and Norway, the western Caucasus (Ajaria region of Georgia), parts of the western Balkans, New Zealand, Tasmania, and parts of eastern Australia.

lul at "rainforest conversation" i will assume you mean conservation just for the purpose of answering it about keeping the rainforest at the natural state, without any harm from human beings. why is it important ? wells, it a part of natural, and just like any natural things, we need it to survive. rain forest is important to us as well. it is the home for many wild animal, and you sure know how important is animal. also rainforest help keep the temperature of the earth in the normal, not too high. it also used the co2 to purify the air. and a healthy rainforest can provide woods for human. rain forest also can help prevent flood, desert from forming

How about just go to the library and get info there.But if you must use the internet just type in rainforests of the world you should get something from them.

Answer 8

AOL School (online) always helped me. They have every subject too, not just science. You should check it out! This site leads to other ones but it tells you what each one is about...basic characteristics of rainforests, species of them, locations, photos, plants....etc.

Answer 10

It's his assignment, not yours. I was always in the top three for marks in primary school, until the geography teacher asked us to draw something for homework. I was never artistically inclined so Mum did it for me. She only got 7 out of 10. I never asked her again.
Borneo, Queensland, Australia.
