Valdivian temperate rainforests

The Valdivian temperate rainforest is a lush, evergreen forest located in southern Chile and parts of Argentina. Characterized by high rainfall and mild temperatures, it hosts diverse plant and animal species, including coast redwoods and quila ferns. The dense canopy creates a cool, moist environment, supporting rich biodiversity and unique ecosystems. These rainforests are important for carbon storage, water regulation, and maintaining regional climate stability. They are one of the few temperate rainforests in the world, showcasing a rich mixture of native flora and fauna shaped by the region's wet, mild climate.
