The main areas of tropical forest are found in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands the Western Ghats , which fringe the Arabian Sea coastline of peninsular India and the greater Assam region in the north east. Small remnants of rain forest are found in Orissa state. Semi evergreen rain forest is more extensive than the evergreen formation partly because evergreen forests tend to degrade to semi evergreen with human interference. There are substantial differences in both the flora and fauna between the three major rain forest regions. ref IUCN, 1986 Rodges and Panwar, 1988 ref The Western Ghats Monsoon forests occur both on the western coastal margins of the ghats and on the eastern side where there is less rainfall.

In the rain forests there is an enormous number of tree species. At least 60 percent of the trees of the upper canopy are of species which individually contribute not more than one percent of the total number.

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 .
