tropical biodiversity

Tropical biodiversity refers to the vast variety of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms that inhabit tropical regions near the equator. These areas, such as rainforests, are incredibly rich in different species because of the warm climate, abundant rainfall, and complex habitats that support life at many levels. This diversity is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems, providing resources like medicines and food, and supporting planetary health. Tropical biodiversity is valuable both ecologically and economically, but it faces threats from deforestation, climate change, and human activity, highlighting the need for conservation efforts.
