Aia nā wao ua ma nā ʻāina āpau koe ʻo Antarctica. ʻO kēia nā ʻōnaehana kaiaola i hana nui ʻia me nā lāʻau ʻōmaʻomaʻo i loaʻa pinepine ka ua nui. Loaʻa nā wao ua ma kahi kokoke i ka equator, ma nā ʻāpana me ka awelika kiʻekiʻe o ka mahana a me ka haʻahaʻa, ʻoiai ʻo nā wao ua haʻahaʻa e ʻike nui ʻia ma nā kahakai a me nā wahi mauna ma waena o nā latitudes.
Aia i loko o ka wao nahele he ʻehā papa nui: ʻo ka topstory, ka ulu lāʻau, ka ulu lāʻau, a me ka papahele nahele. ʻO ka papa kiʻekiʻe nā lei o nā lāʻau kiʻekiʻe loa, hiki ke kiʻekiʻe a hiki i 60 mika. ʻO ka puʻu nahele he puʻu lei aliʻi ma kahi o 6 mika ka mānoanoa; he hale ia e ālai ana i ka hapa nui o ka malamalama mai ke komo ʻana i nā papa haʻahaʻa, a he home ia no ka hapa nui o nā holoholona o ka wao nahele. Ke komo nei ka malamalama liʻiliʻi i loko o ka ulu lāʻau a hoʻomalu ʻia e nā mea kanu pōkole ākea e like me nā lāʻau pāma a me nā philodendron. ʻAʻole nui nā mea kanu e ulu ma ka papahele o ka ululāʻau; piha i nā mea palaho mai nā papa luna e hānai ai i ke aʻa o nā kumulāʻau.
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona o nā ululāʻau hoʻomehana, ʻo ia ka mea i hoʻoinu ʻia iā lākou iho. Hoʻokuʻu nā mea kanu i ka wai i ka lewa ma ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo ke kaʻina o ka transpiration. Kōkua ka makū i ka hana ʻana i ka uhi ao paʻapū e kau ana ma luna o ka nui o nā wao ua. ʻOiai ʻaʻole ua, mālama kēia mau ao i ka maʻa a me ka mahana o ka wao ua.
He aha ka mea e hoʻoweliweli ai i nā ululāʻau ululāʻau
Ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia nā wao ua no ke kālai lāʻau, ka ʻeli ʻana, ka mahiʻai, a me ka pastoralism. Ma kahi o 50% o ka wao nahele Amazon i luku ʻia i nā makahiki he 17 i hala iho nei, a ke piʻi mau nei nā poho. Ua uhi ʻia nā ululāʻau ululāʻau ma kahi o 6% o ka ʻili honua.
ʻElua mau ʻāina i helu ʻia he 46% o ka nalowale o ka wao nahele o ka honua i ka makahiki i hala: ʻo Brazil, kahi e kahe ai ka Amazon, a me Indonesia, kahi i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ai nā ululāʻau i mea e loaʻa ai ke ala no ka ʻaila pāma, i kēia mau lā e loaʻa i nā mea āpau mai nā shampoos a i nā pahū. . Ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, e like me Kolombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana a me ka Democratic Republic of the Congo, ke piʻi aʻe nei ka nui o nā make. I nā manawa he nui, ʻo ka pōʻino o ka lepo ma hope o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ʻana o nā ululāʻau wela he mea paʻakikī ke hana hou ʻana ma hope, a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia nā mea olaola i loaʻa i loko.
No ke aha he mea nui ka wao ua?
Ma ka luku ʻana i nā ululāʻau ululāʻau, ua nalowale ke kanaka i kahi waiwai kūlohelohe koʻikoʻi. ʻO nā ululāʻau ululāʻau nā kikowaena o nā mea olaola - home lākou ma kahi o ka hapalua o nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona o ka honua. Hoʻopuka nā wao ua, mālama a kānana i ka wai, e pale ana i ka ʻino ʻana o ka lepo, nā waikahe a me ka maloʻo.
Hoʻohana ʻia ka nui o nā mea kanu no ka hana ʻana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau, me nā lāʻau anti-cancer, a me nā mea hoʻonaninani a me nā meaʻai. ʻO nā kumulāʻau ma nā wao ua o ka mokupuni Malaysian o Borneo e hoʻopuka i ka mea i hoʻohana ʻia i ka lāʻau i hoʻomohala ʻia e mālama i ka maʻi HIV, calanolide A. A ʻaʻole hiki i nā lāʻau wōnati Brazil ke ulu ma nā wahi āpau koe wale nō ma nā wahi i hoʻopaʻa ʻole ʻia o ka wao nahele Amazon, kahi i pollinated ai nā kumulāʻau e ka nalo. e lawe pū ana hoʻi i ka pollen mai nā orchids, a ua hoʻolaha ʻia kā lākou mau hua e nā agoutis, nā mammal arboreal liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka wao nahele kahi home no nā holoholona weliweli a i mālama ʻia e like me ka Sumatran rhinoceros, orangutans a me nā jaguars.
Hoʻopili pū nā kumulāʻau ua i ke kalapona, ʻo ia ka mea nui i ka honua o kēia mau lā ke hāʻawi ka nui o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kinoea i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau.
Hiki i nā kānaka a pau ke kōkua i ka wao ua! E kākoʻo i nā hana mālama nahele ma nā ala kūpono, e noʻonoʻo i nā hoʻomaha hoʻomaha ecotourism, a inā hiki, e kūʻai i nā huahana hoʻomau i hoʻohana ʻole i ka ʻaila pāma.
