Rainforest is usually located near the equator. Rainforests are forests characterized by a closed and continuous tree canopy, moisture-dependent vegetation, the presence of epiphytes and lianas and the absence of wildfire. Rainforests can be generally classified as tropical rainforests or temperate rainforests, but other types have been described. Rainforest is the habitat for many animals. There is also a really big ecosystem in the rainforest. A big food web or food chain. In conclusion, the rainforest is a pretty balanced ecosystem. For the rainforest’s temperature, it is usually between 25 degrees to 35 degrees. It is a pretty comfortable temperature to live in. but the rainforest is really wet, the humidity is really high in the rainforest. Even though the rainforest is really comfortable to live in, I think that I cannot survive in a rainforest.
The rainforest will not provide enough resources for me. Maybe we could say that there are food and water in rainforests. There may be trees and rivers, but these resources are really hard to get. Most of the fruits that grow in a rainforest may not be edible. Also, we need to know that plants grow better in higher places. They could get more light and heat energy when they grow higher. The fruit that grows at lower places are usually not small or taste bad. That is because they did not get enough heat and light from the sun. In the rainforest, the trees will grow extremely tall because the rainforest is crowded and every tree wants more light and heat. So, they are kind of competing with who is growing taller so they can get more energy. Therefore, it is kind of impossible for us to get fruit from trees. In conclusion, the food problem was not solved and it still exists.
Even if we are so lucky and found a short tree and found the fruit on it really good, we still have the shelter problem. First, I want to clarify that it is impossible to make your own shelter from wood like what Robison did on the island. I will explain why now. First, you need wood, how will you be able to chop trees? Where would you get an ax? Second, even if we had wood, how will we be able to make them the size that we need? Third, let's assume that we have all the materials that we need. How will we make the house strong or put the materials together? so, it is impossible to create a house by ourselves. Then, we have a second option, find a cave or natural habitat to live in. But there are also problems with it, these caves may already have animal owners. So, we may be attacked by the animals. Speaking of animals, no shelter will cause the problem that animals are chasing us or attacking us. It is even more dangerous. Animals may think that we are their prey and attack us.
Medical concerns are also really important. Let's first go back to the problem that there is no food and water. Even if we found food, how do we make sure that they are ok to eat? What if they have germs on it? We have no way to make sure that it is safe to eat. Remember covid 19, people say that it comes from wild animals. Humans ate wild animals and catched the germs on them. This is all because people ate the wrong things. How can we make sure that the plants are not poisoned, and if they are safe to eat. If we are in cities and we ate the wrong plants, we could go to hospitals, but if we are in a rainforest, it will not be possible for us to go to hospitals.
In conclusion, I think that I cannot survive in a rainforest because of three reasons. The first reason is about food and water. Food is really important. Everyone knows that if we have no food we will be hungry and everybody knows that if we are hungry we could die. We want to say that it is not possible for us to get food from fruits. Most fruits grow at tall places. And it is kind of impossible for us to reach them. Most trees are around 10 meters tall. there is not even one human that growed taller than 3 meters, how would we be able to reach them. The second reason is about the shelter problem. If we have no shelter, then we may be chased by animals or attacked by them. The third reason is medical concerns, if we ate poisoned food or food that contains germs, it will be really dangerous for us.
