“Forests Underwater by Takashi Amano” 🤩🍃🌲🍀🐟🐠🐡

Tropical forests are amongst the richest, more diversified habitats on Earth. Despite occupying less than 6% of the Earth’s surface, these pristine forests, yet intact and remote, are home to more than half of the species to be found on the planet. Nevertheless, tropical forests are listed amongst the most threatened habitats, in spite of their enormous relevance.😮😮

Los bosques tropicales se encuentran entre los hábitats más ricos y diversificados de la Tierra. A pesar de ocupar menos del 6% de la superficie de la Tierra, estos bosques vírgenes, aunque intactos y remotos, albergan a más de la mitad de las especies que se encuentran en el planeta. No obstante, los bosques tropicales figuran entre los hábitats más amenazados, a pesar de su enorme relevancia.😲😲

Takashi Amano👨‍🏫👨‍🎓👀🧔

Amano was the author of Nature Aquarium World (TFH Publications, 1994), a three-book series on aquascaping and freshwater aquarium plants and fish. He has also published the book Aquarium Plant Paradise (TFH Publications, 1997). A species of freshwater shrimp is named the “Amano shrimp” or "Yamato shrimp" (Caridina multidentata; previously Caridina japonica) after him. After discovering this species' ability to eat large quantities of algae, Amano asked a local distributor to special order several thousand of them. They have since become a staple in the freshwater planted aquarium hobby.🥰

También ha publicado el libro Aquarium Plant Paradise (TFH Publications, 1997). Una especie de camarón de agua dulce se llama "camarón Amano" o "camarón Yamato" (Caridina multidentata; anteriormente Caridina japonica) en su honor. Después de descubrir la capacidad de esta especie para comer grandes cantidades de algas, Amano pidió a un distribuidor local que hiciera un pedido especial de varios miles de ellas. Desde entonces se han convertido en un elemento básico en el pasatiempo de los acuarios plantados de agua dulce.😁😁

The importance of forests lies in the components and processes that integrate ecosystems and that provide multiple benefits to the environment, fauna and society.

From the point of view of ecology, forests help to regulate the climate and cushion the impact of natural phenomena.

• Maintain the supply of water in quality and quantity.

• They generate oxygen.

• They control erosion, as well as the generation, conservation and recovery of the soil.

• They contribute to the capture of carbon and the assimilation of various pollutants.

• They protect biodiversity, ecosystems and life forms.

• They promote and allow the pollination of plants and the biological control of pests.

• They are the space where the degradation and recycling of organic waste takes place.

• They allow appreciation of the landscape and recreation.

• They are an important source of raw materials.

• They are the genetic reservoir of life and provide an infinity of substances of great use to humanity for the fight against diseases.

Forest ecosystems include: forests and jungles, mangroves, xerophilous scrub and other forest associations provide products and services that directly contribute to the well-being of the population and are vital to our economies and daily lives. Among other services, forests are a source of food, timber, fuel and medicinal resources, in addition, they serve as tourist sites, scenic recreation and are also important for the socio-cultural activities of its inhabitants. Forests and jungles provide fundamental environmental services such as: the maintenance of water sources, biological diversity, as well as climate regulation and carbon sequestration.🙂🙂
