Using named examples assess the importance of economic, cultural and environmental value of a named TRF ecosystem

Planning:

Economic:

- Tourism
- Providing area and climate for production of crops at lower costs
- Pharmaceutical plants, used for medicine
- Hardwood used for furniture
- Area used for monoculture such as palm oil
- Area used for population growth, building transport between cities
- Provides fish

Cultural:

- Provides space for homes to be built after clearing the area

- Used as examples for awareness between people
- Provides food for people
- Encourage ecotourism and wildlife conservation

Environmental:

- Regulates the carbon, nitrogen and nutrient cycles

- Reduce the levels of CO2
- Reduce the risks of acid rain
- Leaf litter increases soil capacity
Examples of locations:

Borneo Rainforest

Using named examples evaluate economic cultural and environmental value of a named global ecosystem TRF

Tropical rainforests are hot and moist biomes found near the equator. These rainforests have a high value and play a major role in stabilizing the
global weather. The Amazon rainforests produce more than 20% of oxygen which helps to account for the carbon dioxide emissions. Due to
decomposition of the leaf litter, a stable soil is maintained so the lifetime of these plants are longer. These decompositions also regulate the
carbon and nutrient cycles.

Tropical rainforest also provides various types of fruits and vegetables. Over 80% of the different varieties of food are found in the Amazon
rainforest. Along with food, it also contains the major ingredients that are used to make medicine. Pharmaceutical industries worldwide use
ingredients in their medicine which are obtained from the herbs and plants in the Amazon rainforest

Tropical rainforest has a moist climate thus supporting a large number of species and animals. This makes up about 70% of South-America’s
GDP, since the rainforest also influences the climate of areas around it. Local farmers in these areas have large land to plant crops while TNCs
may clear forests in order to plant crops in a large scale

Rivers and lakes around Tropical rainforests are rich in oxygen due to the nutrient cycling from the roots of the trees. This means that there are
large populations of fishes found. In South-America, the residents living in areas near tropical rainforest make daily income through fishing while
large TNC companies such as seafood industries are taking over minor businesses

Tropical rainforests have fertile soil due to the leaf litter from the top canopy allowing more nutrients in the soil. This fertile soil can be used for
major crops. In Borneo, local companies cut down trees for fuelwood, making furniture and other manufacture products while TNCs use large
area of the land for palm oil. As compared to Borneo, in the Amazon Rainforest there are more plantations of palm oil as Brazil is a net exporter
of palm oil

Tropical Rainforest hosts a variety of biodiversity. This boasts tourism in the surrounding countries
