Climate:
All tropical rainforests are situated in the Equatorial Zone of the Earth and
therefore these rainforests experience extremely hot and humid conditions,
with an average annual temperature of 27% with over 70% humidity. Another
factor that must be seriously taken into consideration is rainfall, on average
rainforests experience over 2 inches of rain fortnightly and 1000cm on
average annually.
This map above depicts a running river that is drinkable in the Amazonian
Rainforest, situated where Manaus is on the map above.

People of the Rainforests:
Since the first days of human life on the Earth’s surface people have
inhabited rainforests worldwide, as our relatives, the apes have done in past
and present years, humans have been roaming and inhabiting rainforests for
over 150, 000 years, ever since the beginning of our existence. In 2007 an
organization FUNAI identified and confirmed the existence of 67
uncontacted tribes living in the Brazilian rainforests, adding an additional 40
tribes to the amount recorded in 2005, just two years before! Brazil has now
overtaken Papua New Guinea as the country being home to the most amount
of uncontacted tribes, which roam the Amazonian rainforests. Tribes have
also been located in Central Africa; these people are known as Mbuti Pygmies
and are hunter – gatherers in equatorial, rainforest zones. These Mbuti
people are renowned for the extremely short height, averaging under 150cm!
All of these people are found predominantly throughout the South American
Rainforests, such as the Amazonian Basin etc. .
