=Saving the Southeast Asian Rainforests=

— a challenging yet possible task
Source: []

====The rainforests in Southeast Asia are among the oldest and most biologically diverse rainforests on the planet. They are home to various plant and animal species, many of which cannot be found elsewhere. In addition, they play a key role in the global environment by absorbing great quantities of carbon dioxide and generating oxygen. Yet despite the great ecological value that these rainforests possess, they are currently being destroyed at an alarming rate. Needless to say, should these forests one day completely disappear, the consequences would be devastating.====

====Thus, my intention in creating this wiki is to raise public awareness of the issue of deforestation in the Southeast Asian rainforests, and the importance of protecting these forests. In my opinion, this is a necessary first step to take toward solving this issue. If you want to learn more about the Southeast Asian rainforests, and contribute toward their preservation, please visit the other pages of this wiki. They will provide additional information on these rainforests, as well as ideas on how to protect them. Below are brief introductions to the other pages:====

Research Paper:
====This is a research paper I wrote on deforestation in the Southeast Asian rainforests. It is not a formal paper, but I think that it can also serve as a source of information, along with the relevant websites.====

====Finally, thank you for viewing this wiki. Saving the Southeast Asian rainforests is a challenging task which requires the combined effort of each individual. So please lend your effort to this worthwhile cause. If you have any comments or suggestions, please post them on the "comments and suggestions" discussion post.====
