Temperate forests correspond to forest concentrations formed in the northern and southern hemisphere. Main characteristics include wide leaves, big and tall trees and non seasonal vegetation. Temperate forests can be further distinguished by weather patterns and geographical features that favor the predominance of certain kinds of trees. Temperate deciduous forest s, also called temperate broadleaf forests or temperate broadleaved forests, consist of trees that lose their leaves every year. In temperate coniferous forest s, evergreen conifers predominate, while in temperate broadleaf and mixed forests , a more even distribution exists between evergreen and deciduous trees. Finally, temperaterainforest s are typified by the presence of heavy rainfall . Within a temperate forest there is heavy rainful and dense humidity.

Classification The temperate perches are closely related to the temperate basses of the Moronidae Family, and older literature treats the latter as a belonging to the Percichthyidae Family.

One of the richest parts of this wet belt lies convert 110 km mi east of the city of Prince George, British Columbia Prince George and nearly a thousand kilometres 600 miles east of the coastal rainforests. The oldest and most diverse parts of the forest are typically found on northeasterly aspect wet toe slopes, with Thuja plicata Western Red Cedar Thuja plicata trees over 1,000 years old and undisturbed forest stands much older than that. Some of these toe slope benches were cleared in the 1960s to develop the Yellowhead Highway , with the added result that most of the remainder became easily accessible to industrial logging and recreation, and more recently to research and interpretation. As a consequence there are only a handful of the best sites left undisturbed in 2008. In 1987, a science based conservation group Save The Cedar League was formed. With the establishment of the new University of Northern British Columbia UNBC in Prince George the 1990s, further research continued to highlight the significance of the ICH zone east of the city. The arrival of a defoliating insect outbreak, the Hemlock Looper, Lambdina fiscellaria fiscellaria , resulted in increased salvage logging of old cedar stands along the Yellowhead Highway.

Rainforest of the Austrians is an environment protection project was founded by Michael Schnitzler , an Austrian violinist and grandson of the poet Arthur Schnitzler , as a non profit organization . Its goal is raising funds to buy properties in the Esquinas Rainforest which is 146.7 square kilometres big and located in the south of Costa Rica . These properties become part of the Piedras Blancas National Park . This area of the rainforest was owned by local farmers. In 1991 the government of Costa Rica has declared the area as a National Park to protect the forest against the clearing. But there has not been enough money for buying the whole forest and the government has needed foreign help for realizing their environmental protection plan. At the end of 2005 33.7 square kilometres were bought. These area got the symbolical name Rainforest of the Austrians ger. Regenwald der sterreicher . As a result of further protection initiatives there are now 90.3 square kilometres 65 of the Esquinas rainforest part of the National Park. 55.8 square kilometres are privately owned, but they are planned to be integrated to the National Park as well. In the year 2000 the organization Rainforest of the Austrians was honoured with the prestigious Binding Environmental Prize in Liechtenstein . The Naturhistorisches Museum displayed a special exhibition of the project. The ORF broadcaster ORF showed a documentation about it in the television program Universum .
