Rainforests are moist, muddy types of forests with at least 30 million types of plant and animal species all around, and a paradise for insects. Rainforests are particularly home to 1/2 to species of plants and animals on the entirety of earth. There are thousands of plants and animals waiting to be discovered. They also provide a lot, and I mean a lot of oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide. Rainforests assist with keeping the earths climate being as stable as it can. Rainforests provide/produce foods and life saving medications. 25% of the medicines came from the rainforests plants.
