Why Do More Species Live Near The Equator?

The video explores why tropical rainforests are the most biodiverse regions on Earth. It discusses factors like geography, climate, and the concept of niches that contribute to this diversity. The video also explains how evolution and speciation occur more rapidly near the equator, making the tropics a cradle and museum of biodiversity. It emphasizes the importance of conserving these ecosystems to preserve their rich biodiversity.
