Animals are part of any and every ecosystem. As humans and animals breath in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, plants take in carbon dioxide and put out oxygen. The answer to the question is yes, animals do help the rain forest. We are all part of a cycle where each needs the next to survive.

So many ways its hard to list them all, but a few are: Their roots hold the topsoil down so other plants can grow, they provide shade which can help both plants and animals, they convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) to O2 (oxygen) which is necessary for life, they are (trees at least) often used as homes for many other life forms, they are food for many other life forms... in short they are the foundation for ANY ecosystem.

When an animal dies their body decomposes into the ground and helps feed plants and trees.

Also, when an animal leaves excrement that also decomposes into the ground and helps to keep the soil nutritious and rich.

Some animals help to decompose the rotting vegetation by digesting it and passing it through their bodies onto the ground.

Animals help keep the forests and woods balanced and the well being of the woods or forest can often depend on what is happening in the food chain.

The biggest way a forest helps animals is by providing shelter. Animals can hide in it, build homes in it, travel from tree to tree in it, and harvest food from the insects or other animals that make their homes there. It protects from the heat of day in some areas where temperatures are a problem, and it can also hold water or moisture in the form of streams or plant sap.

Animals help maintain the forest ecosystem by giving off CARBON DIOXIDE which the plants or trees need for photosynthesis.
