They are usually part of a larger area of rainforest. In a jungle, light is able to reach the ground level causing profuse, tangled vegetation there. Explorers often must cut a path in order to walk through a jungle. The larger areas of tropical forests, called rain forests because they receive more than 100 inches of rain per year, have fairly clear ground areas because the tall trees shut out the light to the floor of the forest. These forests are located in climatic areas where hot temperatures are nearly constant year-round, so the trees, shrubs, and plants are green and lush all year.
Rain forests are one of the richest regions on the earth.
As many as five million plants, animals and insects live there. Most of them have not yet been discovered, studied, and named. The Task You and your team of scientists have been selected to be part of a special task force to save the rainforest. It is your job to find search for a new species of butterfly. If you can find such a butterfly, you can sell it for 3 billion dollars.
