Importance of Rainforest

Tropical rainforests affect the daily lives of every person on the planet.

Rainforests are one of the most important natural resources left on Earth. They safely store billions of tons of carbon, helping ward off climate change. Tropical forests remain untapped resources for scientific and medical discoveries—a quarter of all medicines are sourced from plants found deep in the rainforests. They are also home to thousands of unique animals that depend on the protection of rainforest for their survival.
