Rainforests Diversity and Destruction By Dave Kristula [ 9 January 1997] [A section of Dave's Site Abstract Introduction Review of Literature ... References Need more Rainforest Resources? Visit my links page View more sites at davesite.com Abstract The purpose of this paper is introduce the reader to the truths about the rainforests and its destruction. The rainforests are disappearing acres per minute, a number that grows so quickly it would be impossible to cite here because it would grow outdated within a week. The rainforests are home to over half of the entire species of the world, which are being destroyed with the rainforests. Unlike the rainforest itself which may appear to grow back, it will never be the rainforest it once was, and all of those species that were killed will never return again. Many of those species that have not yet been discovered may very likely cure cancer, AIDS, and many of the other diseases and viruses of today. If the rainforests disappear, so will most of the population of the world. This report will help the reader to learn more about the causes of the horrifying destruction, and ways that the reader can help stop it! Back to the Index Introduction This report is about many aspects of the rainforest: what rainforests are, a brief summary of the importances of the rainforests, a description of the destruction of the rainforest, and an informative section about how an average person can help to save the rainforest.

Rainforests are extremely important in the ecology of the Earth. The plants of the rainforest generate much of the Earth's oxygen. These plants are also very important to people in other ways; many are used in new drugs that fight disease and illness. Strata of the Rainforest Different animals and plants live in different parts of the rainforest. Scientists divide the rainforest into strata (zones) based on the living environment. Starting at the top, the strata are: EMERGENTS : Giant trees that are much higher than the average canopy height. It houses many birds and insects. CANOPY : The upper parts of the trees. This leafy environment is full of life in a tropical rainforest and includes: insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, and more. UNDERSTORY : A dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground.

The BioEsfera Project The First Spanish-Tropical Forest Biology-Archeology Workshop La Escuela Rice/The Rice School Houston, TX W hat is B io E sfera? BioEsfera was developed by , of Rice University , as a response to the need to train teachers in Spanish and Conservation Biology, and to provide an opportunity for the acquisition of new cultural perspectives in a society that characterizes itself for its diverse ethnic and cultural composition. The group of teachers that participated in this effort are all members of The Rice School/La Escuela Rice's Teaching staff. This is a new school of the Houston ISD program which is implementing a novel approach to schooling which includes bilingual English/Spanish instruction as part of its teaching method.

Planet Earth, which safely carries its inhabitants over 2.5 million kilometres each day, at an average speed of around 107,000 kph, can only perform this task with the aid of a very reliable and efficient shield. Its ironic, but its because our shielding atmosphere works so well that most people rarely give much thought to this gargantuan journey through our Solar System. The way that some of the so-called most intelligent inhabitants of this planet are deliberately damaging our atmosphere, can only be described as gross selfishness or ignorance. In one phase of atmospheric vandalism, they are burning the candle at both ends, by clearing rainforest on a grand scale then polluting the atmosphere by burning the very same trees which were filtering the air that you and I breathe. As well as being our natural air purifiers, and the oxygen suppliers to all that breathe, trees play an essential role in the hydrologic cycle. This is the process which releases water molecules to rise up into our atmosphere to form rain bearing clouds. To a great extent our weather is shaped by our vegetation, patchy areas of vegetation will most likely generate patchy weather. In increasingly larger areas around the globe, the prevailing winds are blowing over cleared land or concrete jungles. In the past they were passing over much larger tree-covered areas which were acting as moist sponges, where they would pick up the moisture to form a broader, more even band of rain-bearing clouds. Creating large bodies of water by damming our major waterways can only result in a concentration of water-evaporation, the end result allows the possibility of too much rain creating destructive floods.
