What are some of the kinds of trees located in the amazon rain forest?
The number of tree species is huge, especially when compared with temperate forests. Many of the rain forest hardwood trees, such as Mahogany and Rosewood, are considered exotic and prized by woodworkers. Many rain forest trees are considered as threatened species and a search of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre’s tree conservation database lists more than 500 matches for threatened species in Brazil. What we don’t know about the trees of the Amazon is much more than what we do know.
