The world is full of beautiful forests that have been tamed and shaped by time. Some forests are just as wild as ever, while others have been turned into parks or plantations for commercial use. Here we'll explore 10 of the darkest forests in the world:
❍ Daintree Rainforest, Australia.
The Daintree Rainforest is a tropical rainforest located in Far North Queensland, Australia. It is located within the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Site, and is part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
The Daintree rainforest (also known as the Great Sandy Desert) has been described as one of the most beautiful places on earth due to its striking combination of natural beauty and stunning biodiversity.
❍ Dark Hedges, Northern Ireland.
The Dark Hedges are a popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland. The trees were planted by the Stuart family to mark the entrance to their estate, but have become a tourist attraction in themselves. The hedges are over 200 years old, with only one of them dying out during that time period.
The trees have long been associated with ancient legends and folklore; many people believe that they are haunted by ghosts from 17th century history. In fact, some people believe that King William II of England was murdered here between 1690-1691 when he passed through Ireland on his way back from battle with France (he died later).
❍ Crooked Forest, Poland.
The Crooked Forest is a grove of crooked pine trees in Poland. It was planted around 1930, and it's believed that the reason for this is unknown. Located in a forest near Gryfino, this grove has become quite popular with tourists who come to see its unique feature: the twisted branches forming an almost perfect circle around each other.
❍ Monte Verde Cloud Forest Reserve, Costa Rica.
Monte Verde Cloud Forest Reserve is a tropical rainforest in Costa Rica. It's one of the most important and popular tourist destinations in Costa Rica, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
The Monte Verde Cloud Forests are located in the Central Valley near San José (the capital city) and are spread over an area of 150 km² (61 sq mi). The mountains surrounding these forests can reach up to 1000 meters in height; their slopes are covered with dense vegetation which forms a canopy above ground level.The rainfall here averages around 1500 mm per year - more than half what it gets elsewhere on earth! The rains come from two main sources: mid-summer monsoons from June until August when winds bring moisture from South America's Pacific Ocean; then there is also another rainy season between October through March when clouds move into position over central America's Pacific Coast Mountains before being blown inland by winds coming off landmasses like Mexico or Guatemala (which often occurs several times each year).
Clouds form naturally within these environments due to condensation caused by evaporation on surfaces such as leaves or droplets suspended within air currents high up above sea level - but they're not always benign! There could be sudden downpours creating flash floods .
❍ Black Forest, Germany.
The Black Forest is a mountain range in the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg. It's the largest forested mountain range in Germany and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. The name "Black Forest" is derived from its dark forests, which are made up mostly by coniferous trees such as pine trees, spruce and larch; however there are also some beech trees present as well.
❍ Hoh Rainforest, Washington State.
The Hoh Rainforest is a temperate rain forest located in the Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington, home to some of North America's oldest trees and an array of wildlife species that have become endangered due to development and logging practices over the past century or so (for example, the northern spotted owl). This area has been declared an ecological treasure by both UNESCO and NatureServe International, however, it continues to be threatened by deforestation caused by commercial logging operations as well as wildfires caused by lightning strikes or arsonists.
❍ Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Kyoto Japan.
The Bamboo Forest is a famous tourist attraction in Kyoto, Japan. It is located along the Kiyotaki River and is one of the most popular attractions in Kyoto. It is a great place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kyoto.
The Arashiyama Bamboo Forest was established by Emperor Yomei in 710 A.D., as part of his effort to beautify Kyoto with bamboo plants that were planted from other provinces like Fukui Prefecture, Hokkaido and Nagasaki Prefecture the area soon became popular among visitors for its scenic location near Lake Biwa and Mount Hiei.
Bamboo (Phyllostachys bambusoides) grows naturally in this region due to its special climate conditions but people have also been cultivating them since ancient times. As time went by, more than 20 varieties were grown here until around 1760 when merchants started importing bamboo seeds from China's Jiangsu province which made it possible for farmers around Mount Hiei .
❍ Redwood National and State Parks Northern California.
The Redwood National and State Parks are located in Northern California, which is home to the world’s tallest trees and some of the oldest. With an area of over 2 million acres, it's no surprise that there are so many redwoods here! In fact, there are nearly 4 million acres of forested land within these national parks alone!
❍ Amazon Rainforest South America
The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world & located in SouthAmerica. The Amazon Rainforest covers more than 5 million square kilometers (2 million square miles), which is almost half of all South American land. It's also known as "the lungs of our planet" because it produces 20% of all oxygen on Earth, but that doesn't mean you should go there!
The Amazon River originates at Lake Titicaca, Bolivia and runs along Peru, Brazil and Colombia before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Pará State (Brazil). This river is home to many diverse species including jaguars, capybaras, pink dolphins and giant otters!
❍ Valley of the Kings, Egypt.
The Valley of the Kings is a valley in Egypt where the tombs of some of the pharaohs were buried. It lies near Thebes (modern-day Luxor), about 20 kilometers to the southwest from Cairo. The main entry point to this site is through an enclosure wall on your left when you enter from the west side at KV5, which houses Tutankhamun’s tomb and those of his family members.
The area was discovered by European travelers in 1801 but was not properly explored until 1811 after Jean Baptiste Neville began excavating here with Englishmen Edward Ayrton and John Gardner Wilkinson as well as Egyptian workers under Mohammed Ali Pasha's orders during his campaign against Napoleon's forces who had invaded Egypt that year; all three men were able to return safely home while working on their respective teams’ findings within months after returning home again soon thereafter due largely due having realized how much these sites held importance within both local communities as well as internationally .
The forests in the world are the most beautiful and natural places on Earth. They are home to many plants and animals, which help us live a healthy lifestyle. These forests also protect our environment from pollution and deforestation, which is why they are so important!
