Temperate Deciduous Forest

 Temperate Deciduous Forests are forests in cool, rainy areas; they have trees that lose their leaves in the Fall and regrow in the Spring. Temperate deciduous forests are found in the middle latitudes around the globe and have four distinct seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. In the Northern Hemisphere, these forests are found in North America, Europe, and Asia. In the Southern Hemisphere, there are smaller areas of these forests in South America, Africa, and Australia. The growing season in these forests is about 6 months long.

Critical Issues

     There has been many forests that have been destroyed mostly by human activity, such as open fires that weren't put out and chopped down trees.

     While humans are camping they usually make fires to make smores and they usually don't put it out when they're finished or they forget. Then the fire begins to spread and it burns down a portion or the entire forest.
