Rainforest Facts

• Rainforests only cover 2 of the world but the
  rainforests hold 50 of the worlds trees.
• Over one quarter of natural medicines are
  discovered in the tropical rainforest also known
  as jewels of the Earth.
• The rainforests are responsible of 28 of the
  worlds air.

Rainforests Layers

• The forest floor.
• The bottom-most layer, receives only 2 of the
  sunlight. Many forms of fungi growing here help
  decay the animal and plant waste

Rainforests Layers

• Understory Layer
• The understory layer lies between the canopy and
  the forest floor. The understory is home to a
  number of birds, snakes and lizards, as well as
  predators such as jaguars , boa and leopards.
  Only about 5 of the sunlight shining on the
  rainforest canopy reaches the understory. This
  layer can be called a shrub layer, although the
  shrub layer may also be considered a separate
  layer.

Rainforest Layers

• The Canopy Layer
• The Canopy layer contains the majority of the
  largest trees, typically 3045 m tall. The canopy
  is home to 50 percent of all plant species,
  suggesting that perhaps half of all life on Earth
  could be found there. A quarter of all insect
  species are believed to exist in the rainforest
  canopy.

Rainforests Layers

• The Emergent Layer
• The emergent layer contains a small number of
  very large trees called emergents. They need to
  be able to adapt to the hot temperatures and
  strong winds that occur above the canopy in some
  areas.

Tree Frogs

• Tree Frogs

A tree frog is spends a major portion of its
lifespan in trees. Many tree frogs can change
their colour for better camouflage. Tree frogs
are usually tiny, as their weight has to be
carried by the branches and twigs of the
rainforest.

Spider Monkeys

• The spider monkey has long limbs and long tails.
• Spider monkeys live in the upper layers of the
  rainforest
• A spider monkeys diet is fruits and the
  occasional plants and insects

Bromeliads

• Bromeliads are related to the pineapple family.
  Some bromeliads can hold several gallons of
  water. They also provide homes for wildlife in
  the rainforest.

Lianas

• Ninety per cent of the world's vine species grow
  in tropical rainforests. Lianas are a type of
  climbing vine found throughout tropical
  rainforests. They have thick, woody stems and
  come in various lengths (up to 3,000 ft) and
  varying shapes. They begin life on the forest
  floor but depend on trees for support as they
  climb upwards towards the sunlight they need for
  survival.

The Huli Tribe Facts

• The Huli Tribe live in Papua New Guinea.
• The population of the Huli tribe is 150,000
• The have lived in their current area for 1000
  years
• They usually speak Huli and Tok Pisin.
