Rainforests(热带雨林)pr9 of the world's oxygcn(氧气).People have been trying to
protect them for years.But another type of forest,the cloud forest,is just as important to humans
Theserthiops of mountains,generally near the cquator ()These wet,wooded
mountaintops are mainly in African and Central and South Arerican countries.They are called "cloud
forests"because their height allows for thformation of clouds among the trees.The trees in these forests

into towns at the boitom of the mountain.The yearly rainfall in these areas is about 180 centimetres.

the cloud forests is still possible with creative solutions.
