Earth is the only planet in the universe known to be teeming with living beings consisting of millions of different life forms. Each of these life forms functions in its own peculiar way, interacting with others to survive, thus forming an intricate web of life that exists in different ecosystems on Earth.  The interaction and interdependence between life forms are the driving force that creates and maintains an ecological - environmental equilibrium that has sustained life on Earth for millions of years enabling it to evolve, flourish and diversify.

We are now living at a time when due to rapid human population expansion, need, greed, and ignorance, humans have caused alarming destruction of the Earth's living resources. As a result, thousands of life forms have been threatened, endangered, or extinct. At current rate of destruction 50% of species of life forms will be wiped out within 50 years seriously compromising the integrity of life on Earth. In fact, this magnitude of destruction will have unknown consequences with respect to the environment, climate, food supply..., and the overall well being of the planet.

Tropical Conservancy is pleased to provide this webpage to keep you up-to-date with news and other important issues regarding life on Earth. We hope this webpage will bring awareness, understanding and appreciation of all living beings. These living beings are the only companions that share the living space with us in our home Earth. They provide us with great services to maintain a clean and healthy environment, with vital commodities such as fresh and clean air, food, medicine, shelters and all other living needs. Without these most life forms including us will cease to exist.
