Here are three reasons, but there are more:

  • Rainforests are like the lungs of the world. They breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen, just the opposite of what we do. We're symbiotic.
  • Rainforests are home for billions of insects, birds, reptiles and mammals, including some humans. Their habitat is the rainforest and without it their existence is threatened.
  • Rainforests remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as part of the world's carbon cycle. We need them there as part of the balance. Humans are now adding more carbon dioxide, and at the same time destroying forests.
