Distribution across the world shown through map indicating locations around Equator in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Key characteristics: Perennial rainfall (>2000mm). Wildlife is limited due to thickness of vegetation eg: Only birds, snakes, monkey, etc. Absence of dry winters as daylight does not reach ground. Threats faced: 1. Deforestation due to lumber, infrastructure, roads & oil & gas sessions. 2. Contamination of land and water due to pollution, eg: fracking
3. Biodiversity loss - nearly 90% of invertebrate specie had been lost. 4. Desertification → decreased ability to bear forth idea. 5. Changing & erratic rainfall pattern.
