Stretching from central coastal New South Wales up into southeast Queensland, the Eastern Australian Temperate Forests eco-region incorporates a wide variety of natural environments, microclimates and rich vegetation. However, clearing for land and urban development since the arrival of Europeans has encroached on much of the landscape and continues today. Additionally, invasive weeds attack the native vegetation. One of the most well known areas of the rainforest is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park. The region features a dramatic plateau of sandstone cliffs, deep gorges, eucalyptus forests and a profusion of rare and threatened plant and animal species.
The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and rainforest region are two Costa Rican reserves in the Puntarenas and Alajuela provinces. It’s termed a “Cloud Forest” because clouds hover around the upper canopy before condensing onto the leaves of trees. This creates a cycle of moisture that characterizes all rainforests, this life-giving condensation that allows for a large amount of biodiversity. As a fun fact, Monteverde has incredible wildlife – over 100 species of mammals, 400 species of birds, and 1,200 species of amphibians and reptiles. It’s also one of the few habitats left that support all six species of “big cats”: jaguars, pumas, margays, ocelots, oncillas, and jaguarundis. Travel to Costa Rica to walk on the tops of clouds and to see this stunning landscape!

El Yunque National Forest is a tropical rainforest in northeastern Puerto Rico. From El Portal Visitor Center, a walkway winds through the surrounding treetops. Trails run to La Mina waterfall and Mount Britton, then up to the high-altitude dwarf forest. In the south are ancient petroglyphs, made by the area’s indigenous Taíno people. The forest comes alive with the nightly calls of coquí tree frogs. See extra info at https://www.recordandoyunque.store/blogs/news. My profession is software engineer, but my studies are a Masters in Mathematics from UCSD in SD CA. I also have studied mechanical engineering – graduate level and worked on aerospace companies in PR and many other while I lived for 13 years in the Silicon Valley, where I hanged out in their forest in Santa Cruz.
