1. Rainforests only cover around 2 percent the total surface area of the Earth, but really about 50 percent of the plants and animals on the earth live in the rainforest.
2. There are two different types of rainforests, and they include both temperate and tropical. The tropical rainforests are the ones that are most commonly found around the world.
3. A fifth of our fresh water is found in tropical rainforests, the Amazon Basin to be exact.
4. Within four square miles of tropical rainforest, you will find 1500 flowering plant species, 750 types of trees, and many of these plants can be helpful in combating cancer.
5. Rainforests are threatened each and every day, especially by practices such as agriculture, ranching, logging and mining.
Hope this helps!
