Critical Ecosystems

There are actually a lot of endangered forests around the world, even to ones I was not aware about.
So I'll list a few of them, their origins and what's at stake.

1. Eastern Afromontane

Geologically created by volcanic mountains, a remarkable 617 species are found in this forest. Unfortunately there are 11% of the habitat that remains.


2. Indian Ocean Islands

The devastation of logging on trees and only 10% of unique habitat is left. Logging and mining are big threats for it destroys ecosystems.











3. California Floristic Province
Dun dun dun. Yes, even in our beautiful golden state we suffer the same fate as others. Home to the most outstanding sequoias and redwoods suffers from pollution, road construction and urban areas.

4. Atlantic Forest 

Running all the way through Brazil's Atlantic coast to Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, there are 20,000 plant species left and over two dozen critically endangered species (lion tamarins, sugar and coffee plantations) 

5. Indo-Burma

With floodplains and rivers, it is essential for birds and fish. However, it is being destroyed by draining for wet rice cultivation. The rivers have been dammed in able to generate electricity making aquatic ecosystems at large risk.
