Doñana Natural Park is located in Andalusia, Spain and is considered the largest nature reserve in Europe. It contains three distinct ecosystems - marshes, Mediterranean scrublands, and coastal dunes and beaches. The park hosts over 200,000 waterfowl during winter migrations and is an important habitat for many endangered species like flamingos, imperial eagles, and lynx. The diverse flora includes oak and pine forests, eucalyptus, stone pine, and cork oak trees.
The tropical rainforest has the most abundant vegetation on Earth, with trees able to grow over 40 meters tall to reach sunlight through four main layers. The rainforest is threatened by mining, logging, cattle ranching, and peasant farming. Mining and logging have cleared vast areas for minerals and timber. Five million hectares of forest are lost annually to logging. Sustainable practices like agroforestry, selective logging, and protected forest reserves can restrict harm if logging only occurs for trees above a certain height. The main driver of deforestation is human settlement and farming using slash and burn techniques, resulting in over 500,000 square kilometers of additional forest loss between 1991 and 2000.
Tropical rainforests are located in hot and wet equatorial regions with heavy rainfall, such as Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, and the Pacific Islands. The vegetation forms a dense canopy with various layers and includes hardwood trees, shrubs, vines, and mosses. These regions experience a hot and humid climate with rainfall throughout the year, supporting the growth of the rich biodiversity found within, including many monkeys, apes, birds, snakes, insects, and large cats.

India has a high level of biodiversity with over 47,000 plant species and 81,000 animal species, though deforestation threatens many. Nearly 1500 plant species and over 100 animal species are endangered or vulnerable in India due to habitat loss from development, mining, overgrazing, pollution, and fires. The forest cover of India is only 19.39% of its area, below the required 33%. Conservation efforts include wildlife protection laws, banning hunting and poaching, and community-led conservation projects.
Sikkim is a biodiversity hotspot located in northeast India between Nepal and Bhutan. It has a wide variety of landscapes from snow-capped mountains to forests and lakes. Sikkim's biodiversity includes over 4,500 flowering plants, 550 orchid species, and 550 bird species. Some iconic species found in Sikkim are the red panda, which is the state animal, and rhododendrons, of which there are 24 species in the Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary. Kanchenjunga, the third tallest mountain in the world, and Yumthang Valley, known as the "Valley of Flowers", are two of Sikkim's most notable landscapes.
The document provides information on several national parks located in Spain, including their locations and key features. Tablas de Daimiel National Park is the smallest in Spain and contains wetlands. Doñana National Park is located in Andalucía and contains varied geography that supports many aquatic birds and the endangered Iberian Lynx. Sierra Nevada National Park contains the highest peaks in the Iberian Peninsula and a variety of flora and fauna.
This document provides information on several endangered animals found in North America. It lists species such as the brown bear, black bear, gray wolf, island fox, jaguar, leopard, manatee, mountain lion, narwhal, northern fur seal, ocelot, prairie dog, red wolf, sea turtles, vaquita, woodland caribou, and lynx. For each animal, it gives a brief description and notes that they are endangered due to threats such as habitat loss and hunting. The document aims to raise awareness about protecting these vulnerable species.

A rainforest is a forest located near the equator with warm weather and heavy rainfall all year. It has four layers from the tallest emergent trees at the top to the forest floor. Rainforests contain over half of the world's plant and animal species and there are five major rainforests: the Amazon, African, Australian, Central American, and Southern Asian rainforests. Indigenous people live in the rainforest as hunters and gatherers growing fruits and vegetables and hunting wildlife like monkeys, deer, and pigs.
