The tropics is a geographical region located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, covering a wide area of the Earth near the Equator. This region is known for its warm climate, high biodiversity, and lush vegetation. Research in the tropics often focuses on topics such as tropical ecosystems, climate change impacts, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development. Scientists study the unique characteristics of tropical environments and the challenges they face due to human activities and environmental changes. They also work towards finding solutions to preserve the rich biodiversity and ensure the sustainability of tropical ecosystems.
