- Types of Forests &
- New Types of Forests
Forests have no beginning and no end.
Only thought delimits the boundaries of the Forest.
We'll explore here the different Forests of the World and how these forests help shape the surrounding landscape.
Our intention here will be to outline those forests areas that may raise awareness and interest about the biome and how forests interact and to expand the concept of "The Forest" towards greater enjoyment, understanding and improvements of the areas that surround human interactions.

What can you do? Why is Preserving the Forest Important? What is Deforestation? Is Deforestation needed and an integral part of global economic develpment? How are Forest Fires generated, extinguished and prevented?
What can you do? Why is Preserving the Forest Important?
Rainforests are the LUNGS of the PLANET. They absorb CO2, and produce O2 which ALL animals use for energy..

How are Forest Fires generated, extinguished and prevented?
Fires are generated by sparks principally by HUMANS, lightning strikes, refracted light of crystals and glass bottles, discarded cigarettes...
