Some scientists believe that more than one hundred animal and plant species become extinct every week. Rainforests produce huge amounts of oxygen and purify the Earth's air. Two-thirds of all the fresh, flowing water on the Earth is stored in rainforests. Tropical rainforests provide up to 40 percent of all medicines, including more than two thousand plants used for anti-cancer drugs. Many useful industrial products and foods come from rainforests, including rubber, wax, cosmetics, chocolate, pineapples, cinnamon, coffee, and nuts.
Rainforests are beautiful, strange, and interesting.
The wonder of rainforests provides unsurpassed joy and contentment.
