Valdivian temperate rainforests
The Valdivian temperate rainforests are unique ecosystems located in southern Chile and Argentina. Characterized by high rainfall, these forests support a diverse range of plant and animal species, including towering coigüe and lenga trees. The climate is mild, with cool temperatures and abundant moisture, creating ideal conditions for lush vegetation.
These rainforests are home to various endemic species, such as the Darwin's frog and the Southern beech tree. The rich biodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. However, these forests face threats from deforestation and climate change, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
