Today, deforestation takes place in the form of logging, mining, farming and rampant development. If current rates continue, rainforests will disappear altogether within a century. The largest rainforests in the world come in two forms: tropical and temperate. Tropical rainforests are located near the equator, between the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5° north and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5° south of the equator. They are evergreen, have a warm and wet climate and receive consistent rainfall – at least 2,000mm annually. Tropical rainforests once covered 14% of the Earth’s land surface; today, it is only 6%. Despite this, about 80% of the world’s documented species can be found in tropical rainforests.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India have a tropical canopy comprised of mixed flora species. Even though it’s isolated from masses of land, it’s still extremely rich with a diversity of wildlife and plant life. Its crystal-clear, azure-blue waters that reflect white, puffy clouds in the sky are only a fraction of what makes these islands beautiful and majestic in character – a treat for any travel lover. Some of the more common wildlife animals of the islands are wild pig, hornbill, Andaman teal, Nicobar pigeon, white-bellied sea eagle, Andaman Cat snake, and other unique species of the India. There are so many adventurous things to do in this wonderful travel destination! Travel to paradise for an experience of a lifetime!

Valdivian Temperate Rainforest: This forest spreads over an area of about 248,100 km2, found in west coast of southern South America in Chile and Argentina. Angiosperm trees, bamboos, ferns, conifer trees, narrow coastal strips, ice sheets, glaciers, and a central valley highlight the forest. The temperature is usually humid due to heavy rains. It’s normally very foggy. The rainforest is named after Valdivia, in Southern Chile and named after the city’s founder Pedro de Valdivia. The forest is famous for the endemic plants and 150 foot tall trees in addition to rare species of animals. Some of the old tree species are alerce and olivilo.
Perhaps the most stunning bird of El Yunque is the Puerto Rican parrot, but it is also one of the saddest stories. At the time of the first Spanish colony in the early 1600s, there were believed to be a million parrots on the island, but over the years, as human population increased and deforestation occurred, the numbers dropped drastically until in 1973 there were only 13 iguacas, the Taino word for the parrot. The Puerto Rican Parrot Recovery Program was making great strides to renew the population and at last count, before Hurricanes Irma and Maria, there were almost 60 parrots in the wild.

There is an entrance to EYNF via PR 191 – the other side that was split via a huge landslide in the 70’s. Thus I now go a lot to Rio Sabana park and explore that way.
