Tropical rainforests are the most alive places on the Earth!
They are the home to half of all living things.
Rainforests are some of the oldest and most amazing places in
the world. Every corner of the rainforest is used by animals,
plants, and insects. The rainforest plays an important role in
weather patterns and we get a lot of different products from the
rainforest such as coffee, bananas, rubber, spices, and many
more.
The rainforests in the world are very important to us. They
are like the lungs of the Earth. They remove a large amount of
carbon dioxide from our atmosphere and replace it with oxygen,
which humans and animals breathe in.
More kinds of amphibians, birds, insects, mammals, and
reptiles live in tropical rainforests then anywhere else!
