Rainforests also support an incredibly diverse range of life, which is still being "discovered". And since they are largely unexplored, they hold potential for medical revelations (Aspirin, for example, is a substance derived from the Willow tree -- and although it's not a rainforest tree, it provides and example of how nature provides direct inspiration for our most basic medical treatments).
