TROPICAL RAIN FOREST
Rainforests are often called the lungs of the
 Page 3 of 7
planet for their role in
giving oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide.
They make much of the oxygen humans and
animals depend on. Without them, there would
be less air to breathe! Rainforests also help
maintain
Earth's climate. By taking in carbon dioxide,
they help to reduce the
greenhouse effect. They help stabilize the Indicator 7:

We need the rain forests to produce oxygen
and clean the
atmosphere to help us breathe. We also know
that the earth's climate can
be affected, as well as the water cycle.
Rainforests also provide us with
many valuable medicinal plants and may be a
source of a cure from some
deadly diseases.
CORAL REEFS
Coral ecosystems are a source of food for
millions; protect coastlines
from storms and erosion; provide habitat,
spawning and nursery grounds
for economically important fish species;
provide jobs and income to local
economies from fishing, recreation, and
tourism; are a source of new
medicines, There are ways to protect the reefs
such as discouraging people
from collecting coral for ornamental purposes,
illegal dynamite fishing,
dumping of garbage into the sea.
MANGROVE SWAMPS
Mangroves are the first line of defense for
coastal communities. They
stabilize shorelines by slowing erosion and
provide natural barriers
protecting coastal communities from increased
storm surge, flooding, and
hurricane. Mangrove forests are home to a
large variety of fish, crab,
shrimp, and mollusk species. These fisheries
form an essential source of
food for thousands of coastal communities
around the world. This helps stabilizes the
coastline and prevents erosion from waves and
storms.
 Page 4 of 7
Mangroves, seagrass beds, and coral reefs
work as a single system that
keeps coastal zones healthy. Mangroves
provide essential habitat for
thousands of species.
It would be hard to do without mangroves.
Creating land ideal for
coastal development, these trees die from
subsequent population stresses.
Their abundance of sea creatures leads to
overfishing. without mangroves,
“red tide” algae blooms in the water, kills sea
life, and shuts down beaches.

We need to protect and conserve the Earth’s

resources. We need to give high value to our
tropical rain forests, coral reefs and mangrove
swamps.
Here are some ways to protect and conserve it.
1. Habitat restoration
2. Reforestation or replanting a forest
3. Mangrove rehabilitation.
4. Wildlife conservation which includes
protecting a sanctuary where animals live.
5. Supporting projects of the government
and non-government organizations that protect
tropical rainforest, coral reefs and mangrove
swamps.
6. Joining organizations that conduct
educational campaigns and give information
on how to protect and conserve it
