More about rainforest
Tropical rainforests provide timber as well as animal products such as meat and hides. The tropical rainforests are regarded as the most complex biome (structure and species diversity) on Earth and they are actually such a place of wilderness, where lots of trees and few people live together. Tropical forests contain up to 40 percent of the carbon stored on Earth's continents and account for at least one-third of the annual exchange of carbon dioxide between the biosphere and the atmosphere, said Cleveland. Earth's soils are believed to store several times more carbon than all the planet's vegetation. Tropical rainforests are home to a huge number of different plants and animals. All tropical rainforests are endangered.
