Places I Would Like To Visit

Some of the places I would like to visit so I can go see some of the different species that  would be Tropical Rain Forest, and Sumatra . I would like to go  and visit these places so I would be able to see the endangered species in their natural habitat/ environment.I think it would be a good  experience for me and hopefully I would learn something while I was on my travels. I would like to visit these places because I think it would be a good to see some of the endangered species before they are all gone.




Tropical Rain Forest

All tropical rain forests resemble one another in some ways. Many of the trees have straight trunks that don't branch out for 100 feet or more. There is no sense in growing branches below the canopy where there is little light. The majority of the trees have smooth, thin bark because there is no need to protect the them from water loss and freezing temperatures. It also makes it difficult for  and plant parasites to get a hold on the trunks. The bark of different species is so similar that it is difficult to identify a tree by its bark. Many trees can only be identified by their flowers.

There are  a number of different species in each tropical rain forest but they  do all have some similar animals such as Africa forest elephant , bengal tiger , chimpanzee, dawn bat, golden lion tamarin , linn's sloth , orangutan,toco tucan , and Sumatran rhinocerous These are just some of the species you can find while you are visiting this tropical place.

Sumatra
This place is located on the island of Indonesia , it can be located off the westernmost of Sunda Island. The two main animals that are in need of our help in this region are the Sumatran elephants and tigers.


Personal Opinion 
My opinion on this matter is that I feel like I would want to visit the Tropical rain forest rather than Samatra because I think there would be more wildlife to see there plus with all the beautiful scenery who wouldn't want to visit this place. I chose to write up on these to places to give you and idea of what different species are located  in each region and mostly to get your attention that these animals are in danger and need our help.

  1. Why are these animals in danger?
    Are they being killed by people or just dying on their own?
    I also would want to visit a place like this :)

  2. These would be very interesting places to see, the wildlife and and the rain forests would be amazing compared to our climate. I wonder too, if these animals are endangered because of man or natural causes & what can we do ?
