The Madagascar’s Rainforests
Madagascar is the 4th largest island in the world. It has rainforests that houses approximately 80% of plans and animals which are hard to find in other parts of the world. The same story applies on it. The forest was threatened by people due to small scale agricultural purposes, mining, both legal and illegal loggings and charcoal production. Due to this activity, the forest was damaged and 90% of its original size was destroyed. Efforts of the Madagascar government have initiated the conservancy mechanism of their rainforest.

The Colombia Rainforests
Columbia is known as the 4th largest country in South America. It is home for rich tropical rainforests that considered as one of the highest biodiversity hotspots in the world. However, based on the current reports from United Nations the legal and illegal activity in the country such as mining, logging, development of energy, clearing of tress for small and large scale agricultural projects like oil palm plantations and cocaine farming are the major caused of human encroachment of the forest. The government of Columbia is now moving to preserve the forest.

The Papua New Guinea Rainforest
The highland part of this country is covered with tropical rainforests. Approximately 70% of the entire area of PNG is being sheltered. There are more than 950 various species of birds and mammals are found in the rainforest. There are at least 20,000 different species of plants are existing there as well. Due to commercial logging and clearing of the area for the purpose of agricultural and plantation concerns, the rainforest had suffered from human threat too. The local government of the country is encouraging developed countries to conserve their own rainforest in order for them to minimize the industrialized emission from deforestation.

The Kelp Forests
The kelp forest in Australia had large sources of sea weeds. Some of these weeds grow for about 80 meters in total length. However, based on the recent reports, the total original land area of Kelp Forests had been declining and only 5% of its original size remains. This rainforests is very essential habitat for marine creatures. The main products from Kelp are being manufactured to thicken the foods like ice cream and jelly. Natural disaster such as El Nino is one of the major causes why the Kelp Forest had been heavily destructed. The increase in the sea water temperatures and decrease of dissolved levels of nutrients is the ultimate outcome of this scenario.

The economic uprising of Chile comes from their main product which is wood pulp manufacturing and forestry that are found in this rainforest. However, this rainforest was threatened from human encroachment due to the establishments of highways. However, in exchange of damaged properties in this rainforest the local government of Chile had replaced it with pine trees and eucalyptus trees farms
