Tropical Forest　

A tropical forest is a general term used to describe a humid and warm forest, located near the equator. One of the major types of tropical forests is known as a tropical rainforest, existing mainly in the Amazon, South Asia and West Africa. Though these tropical rainforests only cover 6% of our planet’s surface, they are known to produce about 40% of oxygen in the planet. They are also a source of biodiversity -- half of the living organisms in our planet grow and live in tropical rainforests.

Ever since the advancement of industry, the precious resources have continuously been rapidly exploited. From 1990 to 2000, 14.2 million hectares of rainforest has disappeared. There are many reasons behind this including conversion to farmlands, lumbering for business, slash-and-burn agriculture, and depasturage.

Since more trees has a close-tie with the Southeast Asia because of the proximity to Japan, more trees mainly conducts a forest conservation project in this region. For the areas where forests have disappeared already, more trees will mainly plant locally-fit plants. For the areas where forests are still alive, more trees will strive to maintain and protect the forest from its destruction.
