Another Instrumental value is its aesthetic value.
The Educational value of the Temperate Rainforest

14. Limiting Factor Limiting Factors of the Biome include:
Population size, availability of food, predation pressure, disease, Natural disasters, hunting, human activity,

15. Locus of Concern Logging occurs in the Temperate Rainforest
Loss of habitat and loss of biodiversity
Hunting of Black Tailed Deer
Humans that live in the area of the biome have distanced them selves from the biome.
Some human activity does occur, logging and hunting.
