While almost everyone has heard of Amazon (in some form or another), here’s a look at it and nine other rainforests that you can explore, of course with proper precautions and maximum eco-mindfulness. Three of them are right next door.
Rainforests are lush with vibrant fauna and flora that stand out from the rest of the world. These hubs of biodiversity are important for the ecological health of the planet and the livelihood of many communities that live in and around them. These forests can also offer us a break from our digital lives and make us a part of unchained Nature for a while. While everyone has heard of the Amazon rainforest, here are nine other rainforests that you must absolutely visit.
But keep one thing in mind — as these are ecologically sensitive areas, make sure that you leave minimal footprint and absolutely shun trends that exploit these places and their inhabitants. Spend some time on research since these rainforests are habitats of wild animals who have not seen too many humans, therefore may qualify as being ‘dangerous.’ Also, be aware about deadly diseases that are rife in these regions.
