3. Conclusion and future perspective

Even though, faunas are a crucial component of tropical rainforest ecosystems, detailed information on different aspects of fauna community parameters such as species composition, distribution, diversity, richness and population trend, impact of anthropogenic activities, associated with microclimate and habitat variables is still lacking. The current review highlighted that tropical rainforest is an ideal productive habitat for a wide array of fauna species, i.e., birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. These fauna are a major component of the food web of the rainforest ecosystem and functions. Furthermore, it was revealed that the diversity of rainforest fauna is facing many threats that directly or indirectly affected the population; community parameters of various fauna species inhabited the tropical rainforest. There is an urgent need to study various fauna species of tropical rainforest in order to reduce the impact of human activities and for future conservation and management. We hope that the findings of this chapter will provide the ways and means to conserve the fauna in and around the tropical rainforest.
