"Around the Western Mediterranean Sea are forested areas called Cork Montados. They are as important to planet Earth’s environment as the tropical rainforests are. These forests contain a wide variety of plant and animal species that only live there. One of these is the Cork Oak tree (Quercus suber). Like all forests on the planet, this ecosystem is threatened by human expansion. These Cork Montados are protected by the some of the national governments because they provide a valuable renewable export – cork. If the demand for cork were to fall, these governments may relax or cease their protection of the forests, leaving them vulnerable to destruction. Like with the tropical rain forests, unique plant and animal species disappear and become extinct."
