Andaman 9 - The Rich Rain Forests Of Andaman Islands Comments

Geeta, you arouse my interest in Andaman which sounds, as you describe it, like an eco-refuge, an unspoiled eden. It reminds me of a new book I was looking through on bird species new to science identified in the last fifty years—most of them from that part of the world. Your desire, expressed in the last stanza, reminds me of a poem of mine, On the Rare Capture of a Megamouth Shark, if you’re not already aware of it. Thank you for making me aware of Andaman. It touches hope in me. -Glen

For sure they will live on forever; immortalized by your wonderfully crafted poem. Thanks Geeta

Part 4 This abundance of flora and fauna a a very wide variety indicates that the Tropical Rain Forests have conditions best suited for life forms as existing on earth. Handed the theory that human beings also originated in these Tropical Rain Forests.

Neatly touching the blue horizon with their green beam, Needful palm trees that sustain and rejuvenate with cream! - - The rain forests are great treasure bestowed on the human race...I love the Onomatopoeias very much and share your wishes in the last stanza.

Part 3 Apart from the Burma-Andaman-Indonesia belt, we have the Tropical Rain Forests in KeralA- Western Ghats, the Amazon Rain Forests in NA, etc.

Part 2 Among the fauna, we have birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, small mammals like rats, rabbits etc up to the large carnivores and of course, the largest animal on land, elephants. Everything we have in the Tropical Rain Forests. More! The Forests provide oxygen for the entire world. So, called the lungs of earth. Congrats for capturing the beauty of this wonder in words

Hi Geeta, Lovely poem on the Tropical Rain Forests of Andaman. Tropical Rain Forests are very rich in variety of flora and fauna. Among the flora, we have the large trees like padauk, deodar, banyan, palm tres and the like. But we should not forget the lush undergrowth, again rich in variety. Together, they provide food for all the vegetarian fauna. Variety of flowering plants, providing flowers, fruit, nuts, roots, rhizomes, grains etc. (Contd)

Splendid description of the rain forest cover outstretching the island range of the Andaman & Nicobar. The large native trees which are unique to these territories as well as its flora and fauna have also come in for a lovely treatment. Above all, the birds open up their treasury of euphonious sounds. Thanks, Geeta ji, for transporting the beauty of these Islands through these poetic masterpieces.
