Primary Forest

A primary forest, also known as old-growth forest, is a natural forest that has developed over a long period without significant disturbance from human activities like logging or land clearing. These forests are rich in biodiversity, featuring mature trees, complex ecosystems, and a variety of plants and animals. They serve crucial ecological functions, such as stabilizing climate, maintaining water cycles, and providing habitat for many species. Because of their undisturbed nature and ecological importance, primary forests are valuable for conservation and scientific study.
