To assess the impacts of plantation types on dung beetle assemblages, we analyzed their diversity, assemblage structure, and the potential of each species as indicators of the different habitat types (native forest, peach palm and teak plantation) in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. There was a ...
How do tribes live in the Amazon rainforest? How many trees per acre are in the Amazon rainforest? What is the biodiversity of the tropical rainforest? How many species have gone extinct in the Amazon rainforest? How much oxygen does the Amazon rainforest produce?
Amazon Rainforest:The Amazon rainforest is an extremely large rainforest located in the South America continent. Considering its large area (approximately 5,500,000 kilometers) it's not a surprise that the Amazon rainforest is the home of a large number of organisms....
The first looked at how much of the Amazon rainforest has been lost every year. In recent years, the rate of deforestation has declined. (PRODES (Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research) (CBC)) William Ripple, lead author and professor at O...
Most of its 497 million hectare-wide forest cover falls within“the lungs of the planet”—the Amazon rainforest. One of the most biodiverse places on the planet, the Amazon rainforest is said to house about 10% of theworld’s biodiversity, including over three million wildlife species and ...
Many different forests are at risk of deforestation, but the most concentrated deforestation tends to occur in tropical rainforests. Some of the forests most at risk of deforestation include: Amazon rainforest – Amazon deforestation is mostly driven by cattle ranching and the soy needed to feed ...
become the core driver of price; or another market for biodiversity credits needs to form. Demand also needs to scale up – around 27 billion REDD+ certificates would need to be bought to protect the rainforests that remain in their entirety, and go even higher to restore forest already lost...

Rather than thinking of the Amazon Rainforest as “one big tipping element that will vanish from Earth past a certain threshold,” it’s helpful to note that some regions are much more vulnerable to tipping than other regions, Nico Wunderling, a researcher at the Potsdam Institute...
How is DDT harming biodiversity? What is the importance of biodiversity? How can we reconcile biodiversity conservation and development? Explain. Why is protecting biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest so important? Why is aquatic biodiversity important?
