Half of Costa Rica's tropical dry forests have been cut down for mahogany rosewood.
Farmers burn down areas to clear them for farming, and animals are chased away from their homes.
•By the end of the 21st century, tropical regions in Africa, South Asia, and Central America are likely or very likely to be warming at a faster rate than the global annual mean warming.
•Rainfall in East Africa and during the summer monsoon of South and Southeast Asia is likely to increase.
•Annual precipitation in most of Central America is likely to decrease; this region is the most prominent tropical hotspot of climate change. It is unclear how rainfall in the African Sahel and the Amazon will change.
•Peak wind intensities of tropical cyclones are likely to increase, in particular in tropical Southeast Asia and South Asia, bringing extreme rainfall.
•Droughts and floods are expected to increase globally, making water management more difficult.
However, action is being taken to preserve and save the tropical dry forest biomes, such as planting new trees.
The Tropical Dry Forest is an amazing and diverse biome, is home to many species of animals and plants, not to mention thousands of people. Tropical forests contain the vast majority of the planet's animals and plants, and provide rubber, fruits and nuts, meat, medicinal herbs, floral greenery, lumber, firewood, and charcoal. The forests are used by local people for hunting and fishing, and provide jobs for millions of people in small industries. Without Tropical Dry Forests, the world would be very different, and probably worse than it is now.
