rainforest regions
Lush equatorial areas
Rainforest regions are areas of the Earth characterized by dense tropical or temperate forest with high annual rainfall, typically near the equator or in consistently wet climates.
The term appears in geography, ecology, and climate discussions: Rainforest regions are under threat from deforestation.
These areas—the Amazon, Congo Basin, Southeast Asian archipelagos—support extraordinary biodiversity.
