	Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, also known as tropical rain forests, are a tropical and subtropical biome.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are found in a belt around the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with high year-round rainfall.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are common in several terrestrial ecozones, including parts of the Afrotropic (equatorial Africa), Indomalaya (parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), the Neotropic (northern South America and Central America), Australasia (eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and northern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

		WWF and other groups are also supporting research focused on endangered bonobo populations in the central forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and on establishing a bonobo reserve in the heart of the species’ range, as well as continuing to protect the lowland gorilla population, elephants, and other wildlife in the region.

	05/18/01 -- Tropical forest conservation proceeds in West Africa despite social and political
		Abidjan-Côte d'Ivoire - Despite years of intensive deforestation and a consequent loss of biodiversity in the Guinean Moist Forests Ecoregion, the tropical moist forests in West Africa still rank among the biodiversity hot spots of the planet - announces a panel of experts at a WWF's press conference on tropical forests in West Africa.
		The contribution of tropical moist forests to the economic, social and cultural life in West Africa is far from being negligible.
		In terms of their environmental and biological importance, these forests constitute a carbon sink in a region of more than 250 million people and the only significant check against the southward spread of the Sahara desert.

	Biodiversity Hotspots - Guinean Forests of West Africa - Overview
		Logging, mining, hunting and human population growth are placing extreme stress on the forests, however, threatening species such as the Jentink’s duiker, pygmy hippopotamus, and scattered populations of western chimpanzees.
		The Guinean Forests of West Africa hotspot encompasses all of the lowland forests of political West Africa, stretching from Guinea and Sierra Leone eastward to the Sanaga River in Cameroon.
		The Guinean forests consist of a range of distinct vegetation zones varying from moist forests along the coast, freshwater swamp forests (for example, around the Niger Delta), semi-deciduous forests inland with prolonged dry seasons.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Global 200
		Conservationists interested in preserving biodiversity have generally focused on the preservation of tropical moist broadleaf forests (commonly know as tropical rainforests) because they harbor an estimated 50 percent of Earth's species.
		Several habitats, such as Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub, were determined to be more threatened than the tropical rain forests, and also require concerted conservation action.
		WWF maintains that "although conservation action typically takes place at the country level, patterns of biodiversity and ecological processes (e.g., migration) do not conform to political boundaries", which is why ecoregion-based conservation strategies are deemed essential.

	Chapter I: The Issues
		This overharvesting of forests, together with land clearance for agriculture and sometimes, overgrazing reduces their numerous functions and the services they provided previously.
		The effects of the many causes of deforestation and degradation of forests (climate, demography, politics, land tenure, agriculture) are worsening and many aspects of what is happening in these ecosystems evade us.
		According to the tropical forest resources evaluation carried out by FAO in 1990, 52 percent of the dry deciduous forests are found in Africa, 23 percent in the Asia-Pacific region and 25 percent in Latin America.

		Conservationists interested in preserving biodiversity have generally focused on the preservation of tropical moist broadleaf forests (commonly know as tropical rainforests) because is is estimated that they harbor one half of Earth's species.
		The WWF determined that a more comprehensive strategy for conserving global biodiversity should also consider the other half of species, as well as the ecosystems that support them.
		Several habitats, such as Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub, were determined to be more threatened than tropical rain forests, and therefore require concerted conservation action.
