	Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 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).

		Tucked in between Bangladesh in the west and Myanmar in the east and bordered by Tripura, Assam and Manipur on the north lies the land locked north-eastern Indian State of Mizoram.
		Encompassing 21,087 sq kms of variegated hilly terrain Mizoram is part of the " Mizoram-Manipur-Kachin Rain Forests" eco-region which is reported to have the highest bird species richness of all eco-regions in the Indo-Pacific region.
		Mizoram has birds, and lots of them as is to be expected in such a forest rich area.

		But the forests are mostly state-owned and the river Ganga flowing past this settlement is too far down the hillside to be of use for irrigating the parched fields.
		The most spectacular growth was in Mizoram where the urban population has almost doubled and the number of towns almost quadrupled from six to 22 during this period.
		Nearly 90 percent of the urban population of Mizoram is tribal.

		Location and General Description: Floristically, Kachin State in northern Myanmar is one of the most diverse regions in continental Asia (WWF and IUCN 1995), but it is also one of the least explored.
		However, the lowland forests are heavily degraded, and many lowland specialists such as the endemic Gurney's pitta survive in a few isolated reserves.
		Location and General Description: This ecoregion encompasses the mountainous, semi-evergreen rain forests of the southern portion of the Tenasserim Range, which separates Thailand and Myanmar, and the numerous small ranges of peninsular Thailand.

		Cutting forests for timber is a growing threat to the region's forest as well.
		These populations are declining quickly--the forests are being cleared and converted into rubber, tea, and coffee plantations--with only a quarter of the natural habitat remaining in scattered fragments.
		Although human population density is moderate in the high elevations, shifting cultivation and logging have heavily impacted the forest and led to widespread erosion.

		These forests are also filled with birds: 580 species live here, including four species of pheasants and three hornbills that need intact forests to survive.

		Much of the logging takes place in forests that form part of an area said to be “very possibly the most bio-diverse, rich, temperate area on earth.” In 2004, more than 1 million cubic meters of timber, about 95% of Burma’s total timber exports to China were illegally exported from northern Burma to Yunnan Province.
		Kachin State holds one of the region's last large tracts of relatively undisturbed forest.
		The rapid fragmentation of this forest, and the biodiversity conservation and watershed protection it provides, is of national and international concern.

		With the exception of route 4, the other proposed routes call for it to traverse several very sensitive ecoregions, most notably the Naga-Manupuri-Chin Hills, which include the following ecologically sensitive sub-regions: Northern Triangle subtropical forests; Mizoram-Manipur-Kachin rain forests; Chin Hills-Arakan Yoma montane forests; Meghalaya subtropical forests; Northeast India-Myanmar pine forests.
		The moist forests which blanket the Naga-Manupuri-Chin Hills cover approximately 272,000 square kilometers and span the borders of three countries: Burma, Bangladesh, and India.
		While much of the forest cover is currently intact and relatively stable, the region is also listed as one of the 10 most vulnerable ecoregions in the world; currently only 0.8% of the forests are protected.
