Tropical Rainforest South is the forest that should be conserved. One of the reasons why it should be conserved is because the size of the forest is larger compared to the other forests. Therefore, the forest will be of great help in protecting a lot of species (Saterson, 2014). The forest is not a threat to many species and that, therefore, helps in showing that conserving this forest will be of great benefit to many species. Another reason why the forest should be conserved is because the forest is more diverse compared to the other forests. The forest has not been tampered with by the occupants of the area decided to live on the northern part. Therefore, conserving this forest will not affect the lives of human beings in this area. Most of the primates that are in this forest do not have to use the ground since all they need is the tall trees for them to move.
One advantage of conserving this forest is that it will greatly contribute in generating a lot of income for the area. That is because the forest will become a tourist attraction and thus the tourists will have to pay a certain amount to visit the forest. As a result, it will contribute to the creation of employment. That is because conserving the forest will help in the creation of many employment opportunities and thus many people that live in this area will end up getting employed.
The disadvantage of conserving the Mangrove Forest is that the area is prone to floods. Therefore, the forest is at risk of getting destroyed by the floods. The forest does not have a lot of species to protect and thus having to conserve the forest can result in a lot of waste in a situation where floods end up destroying the area (Huckauf, 2013).
The disadvantage of conserving the Tropical Rainforest North is that the area to be conserved is small and thus it might not be enough for the protection of a lot of species. Another disadvantage is that not much has been left of this forest since many people decided to settle in this area. Therefore, a lot of trees have been cut for the people to plant their crops. Conserving this forest will also affect the lives of many people in this area. For example, one family will no longer have a source of living since the family will no longer manage to import coffee that they have in the forest. The family will also not manage to offer employment to the people that work on that farm. It is, therefore, evident that conserving this forest will greatly negatively affect the economy of the area.
The disadvantage of conserving the Tropical Montane Cloud Forest is that the land that has to be conserved is very small compared to the other areas. Therefore, the land will be small for the species that will have to be protected in the forest. Another disadvantage is that the cloud forest has been degraded by certain human activities. Therefore, it is evident that this forest is at risk since it cannot manage to protect species without having difficulties. The pollution in this area is also high and that can greatly affect the environment of the forest.
