WHERE ARE RAINFORESTS LOCATED?
Rainforests are found in the tropics, the region between the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer. In this region the sun is very strong and shines about the same amount of time every day all year long making the climate warm and stable.
Many countries have rainforest. The countries with the largest amount of rainforest are:
- Brazil
- Congo (Democratic Republic)
- Indonesia
- Peru
- Bolivia
- Angola
- Venezeula
- Papua New Guinea
- Mexico
- India
The Mongabay Kids site (kids.mongabay.com) aims to help children learn about rainforests and the environment. This site is still under development and I am working to add additional content as time permits. If you have comments or are interested in submitting educational content for the site, please feel free to contact me.
The site is available in many different languages, including Portuguese, Chinese, French, Spanish, Japanese, and German.
