Rainforests are forests characterized by high rainfall. Around 40% to 75% of all biotic species are indigenous to the rain forests. Tropical rain forests are rainforests in the tropics in the equatorial zone. A Jungle is an area of land in the tropics overgrown with dense vegetation.

In biology, the canopy is the aboveground portion of a plant community or crop, formed by plant crowns. For forests, canopy also refers to the upper layer or habitat zone. The canopy of a rainforest is typically about 10m thick, and intercepts around 95% of sunlight. Shade trees normally have a dense canopy that blocks light from lower growing plants. The tropics is a region of the Earth surrounding the Equator.

This jungle is also a cloud forest. A cloud forest is a generally tropical or subtropical evergreen, moist forest characterized by low-level clouds.
