Rainforests are usually referred to as lungs of the Earth. They also regulate weather & act as home to a variety of animal and plant species. Luckily, India is home to tropical rainforests across its geography.

  • Northeastern Rainforests: From Assam Valley through Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur these rainforests are lush green spaces dotted with swamps and grasslands. Additionally, Arunachal Pradesh has the second largest forest cover in India.
  • Andaman & Nicobar Tropical Rainforest: Andamans boast of several types of evergreen rainforest and has long been the subject matter of research for ecologists.

Expanding population, encroachment and road widening projects are posing a great threat to the forests of India and hence to our lungs. It is the duty of every Indian to protect these areas along with the inhabitants.
