Answer:

In the central part of the region, along the equator

Step-by-step explanation:

The tropical rainforests happen to be located along the Equator line.

They cover the smallest percent of Earth's surface and yet incredibly are home to more than half of the living forms on the planet.

The tropical rainforests have a tropical wet climate, this makes them the ideal place for rich biodiversity.

As you can see in the image below they follow close to the Equator.

Sadly, the rainforests are endangered, mainly due to human activity:

Deforestation rates, habitats being destroyed, and climate change pose are the main causes.

The most vulnerable are the West Africa tropical forests where an alarming number of settlers and overpopulation is devastating the possibility for the forest to recover by natural means.

If left at the current rate, the regions in South, Central America & Amazon, will suffer the same fate and experience permanent damage.
