Kya Tropic -

The tropics, also known as the tropical zone or torrid zone, are the regions on Earth between the Tropic of Cancer (approximately 23.5°N latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (approximately 23.5°S latitude). This zone receives direct sunlight throughout the year, resulting in a relatively constant temperature and high levels of humidity. The tropics cover about 36% of the Earth's land area and 40% of its population.

The tropics are a treasure trove of natural wonders, cultural richness, and resilience. It is our responsibility to protect and preserve this precious region for future generations. As we move forward, let us be guided by the wisdom of the tropics, embracing the intricate relationships between humans, nature, and the environment.

In the words of the renowned ecologist, Thomas Lovejoy, "The tropics are the biological lungs of the Earth, producing oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide, and harboring a vast array of species that are essential to the health of our planet."
