CITES is an agreement that aims to control and regulate cross-border trade in endangered wildlife and wildlife products and so reduce poaching. Forests that have reached this stage in development are also called old-growth forests, for obvious reasons. Fig trees can easily be found at the forest edge, close to the Visitor Centre. For this reason, an alternate method of classification - the food web - has been developed.

Despite their monumental role, tropical forests are restricted to the small land area between the latitudes 23.5� North and 23.5� South of the equator, or in other words between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer.
