How many animals live in the rainforests?

How can rainforests be managed in the future?

In order to sustain the rainforest, its deforestation needs to be stopped, or at least slowed. The world's rainforests are being depleted much fast than they can replenish themselves. To accomplish sustainability in the management of the rainforests, it can only be used or consumed at a rate at which it can re-grow. There are many different reasons that the rainforests are being cleared. These include, but are not limited to: agriculture, ranching, urban sprawl, mining, oil, gas, wood, and paper. All of these industries have a lot of control over what is done to rainforests and believe it or not, getting the rights to protect them is very difficult! The needs of the human population have started to overcome the need to sustain the biodiversity found in the rainforests.

What are 3 resource from tropical rainforest?

Tropical rainforests by themselves are a natural resource for us. Rainforests are home to two-thirds of all the living animal and plant species on the planet. Rainforests are also often called the "Earth's lungs". Coffee, chocolate, bananas, mangoes, papayas, avocados, and sugar cane all originally came from tropical rainforests, and are still mostly grown on plantations in regions that were formerly primary forest. Much of the genetic variation used in evading the damage caused by new pests is still derived from resistant wild stock. Tropical forests have supplied 250 cultivated kinds of fruit, compared to only 20 for temperate forests. Forests in New Guinea alone contain 251 tree species with edible fruits, of which only 43 had been established so far. They are also called "the world's largest pharmacy" because of the large amount of natural "medicines" discovered there. It is estimated that more than two-thirds of the world's species of plants and animals are found in the rainforest. So it is more than just timber that we get from these forests. We also get wood and oil from the rainforests, and sadly this leads to deforestation and loss of natural flora and fauna.
