What is biodiversity in TRF?

Biodiversity in tropical rainforests (TRF) refers to the rich variety of life forms, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, that inhabit these ecosystems. TRFs are characterized by high species diversity and endemism, with many species found nowhere else on Earth. This immense biodiversity plays a crucial role in ecosystem stability, resilience, and the provision of ecosystem services, such as carbon storage, water regulation, and medicinal resources. However, TRFs are increasingly threatened by deforestation, climate change, and habitat loss, leading to significant declines in biodiversity.
