A
Student Guide To Tropical Forest Conservation Tropical forests, which circle the
globe, are surprisingly diverse, ranging from
rain forests to savannas. Tropical forests are
disappearing at an alarming rate as they are
converted to farmland and other uses. Modern
forest management practices can help stem the
tide by providing income and valuable products
while maintaining forest cover. Puerto Rico
has already gone through deforestation and partial
reforestation. The Luquillo Experimental Forest
is an interesting example of a protected and
managed tropical forest.
