Types of animals
Red-shanked Douc Langur is part of the colobine monkey family, but surprisingly is
more closely related to proboscis monkeys than langurs. Its overall size is 61-76
cm, with males slightly larger than females. Males weigh approximately 7 kg, and
females 5 kg. Their tails are about 56-76 cm long. Its habitat is in the lowland to
montane primary and secondary rainforest where it lives in the mid to upper levels
of the canopy.

Types of plants
Durian trees grows in lowland rainforests, scientists think it is one of the first
plants to rely on animals to disperse its seed. It does this by bribing them with
a nutritious and smelly food surrounding its seed.

Abiotic factors
The tropical rain forest is a forest
of tall. Rainforests now cover
less than 6% of Earth's land
surface. Scientists estimate that
more than half of all the world's
plant and animal species live in
tropical rain forests. In an
average year in a tropical rain
forest, the climate is very humid
because of all the rainfall. The
average temperatures is
occasionally above 18 degrees
Celsius

Deforestation
Deforestation is the removal of a forest which is
affecting a lot of animals because most of them
like birds and monkeys live in the trees so by
deforestation you are removing there homes.
