Pankaj Lal
Abstract
Forest area has decreased between two decades, from 1990 to 2020; however, maximum negative changes have been shown in Central Africa, the Amazon Basin, Indonesia, Papua, and New Guinea. Worldwide is the forest’s approximate (3.75 billion hectare) area; however, the maximum forest is found in Russia, Brazil, Canada, the USA, and China. The largest forest in the world is the Amazon rainforest, which is distributed in nine countries. There is maximum diversity with respect to flora and fauna, and the Amazon forest produces 20% oxygen. The Canadian boreal forest is the largest boreal forest in the world, followed by the second largest boreal forest, the East Siberian taiga, where there is reported low biodiversity. The Congo tropical rainforest spreads in six countries; it is chimpanzee’s habitat. Guinea's tropical rainforest is home to kangaroos, wallabies, monitor lizards, and the Raggiana bird of paradise. Borneo's tropical rainforest is found on the third island of Southeast Asia; however, Indonesia and Malaysia are part of Borneo. In Borneo's tropical rainforest, the rafflesia flower is grown. The Valdivian temperate rainforest is located in South America and extends from north to south in Argentina, so diversity is different in the Valdivian forest. The Burmese tropical rainforest is the oldest rainforest found in Myanmar in Asia, and there are many animals that spend their whole life in trees. Primorye forest is located in southeastern Russia, and this is a very dense forest. It is the home of the Ussuri black bear, Manchurian sika deer, Amur leopard, Siberian tiger, and Amur tiger. This study revealed world forest scenarios, which are very popular in various aspects such as the diversity of flora and fauna.
