The research question aims to investigate the effects of deforestation on biodiversity within tropical rainforests. By utilizing satellite data and species richness indices, the study seeks to understand the relationship between the rate of deforestation and the diversity of species in these vital ecosystems. Through this analysis, the study aims to shed light on the potential consequences of deforestation on the delicate balance of plant and animal life in tropical rainforests and its broader implications for environmental conservation and management. Consider the given geographical: Amazon Rainforest: Located primarily in Brazil; it also extends into parts of Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.

  • Congo Rainforest (also known as the Central African Rainforest): Found in several countries in Central Africa, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and parts of other neighboring countries.
  • Southeast Asian Rainforests: Encompassing countries like Indonesia (including the islands of Borneo and Sumatra), Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and parts of Thailand and Myanmar.
  • New Guinea Rainforest: Located on the island of New Guinea, shared between Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.
  • Daintree Rainforest: Located in Queensland, Australia.
  • Madagascar Rainforest: Found on the island of Madagascar off the eastern coast of Africa.
  • Caribbean Rainforests: Spanning across various islands in the Caribbean, including Dominica, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago.
  • Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica): Found along the eastern coast of Brazil, as well as parts of Paraguay and Argentina.
  • Western Ghats: Located in southwestern India, stretching through the states of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Goa.
  • Eastern Africa Rainforest: Found in regions like Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and southeastern parts of Ethiopia and South Sudan.
