Rainforest Exhibit Essays - Endangered Species, Fauna Of Asia

Rainforest Exhibit My species the Bengal Tiger thrives in the south East Asia rain forest. The tiger thrives here because of all the cover and food sources it has here. The large trees and plants are great for the tigers cover the food sources are plentiful because all the life that thrives in the forest. With temperatures ranging from high 70s to mid-90s with an average rainfall of 2000 mm pa. Monkeys being an omnivore, deer being an herbivore, boar being an herbivore, and lynx being a carnivore, all thrive in the same habitats as the Bengal tiger and most are considered prey to the tiger. The bromeliads mosses and evergreens are some trees that make up the tigers habitat. The tiger being a carnivore and being at the top of the food chain, his main role is to eat which controls over population he also produces waste to contribute to the nitrogen cycle. Living factors are a limiting threat to the tiger's population such as, timber being cut around their habitat, human settlement is expanding into the rainforest which means some habitats have to be destroyed, and agricultural expansion because the demand for food is increasing the farmers expand the land which also takes out habitats. Nonliving factors also contribute to the decline the cold weathers kills some tigers, without enough rainfall prey won't thrive they will die off and tigers will have no food source. The tigers have to make adaptions to new habitats when the limiting factors destroys their habitats or prey is no longer in the area. The tigers will adapt to new ideal location for habitat and food. Some abiotic factors and biotic factors that are in a tiger's habitat include soil and water being abiotic factors and plants, grasses, and tall trees being biotic factors. The tiger's role in the nitrogen cycle is the first stage of the cycle. The tiger produces waste which starts the cycle off. The tiger will produce waste and it will seep into the ground and eventually turn into fossil fuel, and once the tiger dies it will decompose which will also seep into the earth and just like the waste will eventually tune into fossil fuels The tiger population is in trouble due to illegal hunting if this activity continues the tiger's population will decline till extinct. The plan to stop this illegal action is make their habitat harder to access to poachers and post no hunting sighs along with cameras around the habitat. The reason tigers are so valuable to poachers is for their beautiful ski and bone trade. By protecting the tiger's population now and allowing the tigers population to rebuild in numbers; strengthen the population. So conservation efforts can help the tiger's population in the long term life.
