rainforest habitat
Lush canopy environment
A rainforest habitat is the ecological environment found in tropical and temperate rainforests—warm, wet, densely vegetated regions that support extraordinary biodiversity.
The term appears in discussions of wildlife, conservation, and ecology: Deforestation threatens rainforest habitat for countless species.
Rainforest habitats are characterized by layered canopy structure and high rainfall.
