Equatorial rainforests are crucial for global biodiversity, housing approximately half of the Earth's plant and animal species despite covering only 6% of its surface. They play a vital role in carbon sequestration, absorbing significant amounts of carbon dioxide and helping to mitigate climate change. Additionally, these forests regulate local and global weather patterns, contribute to the water cycle, and provide essential resources such as food, medicine, and materials for millions of people. Their preservation is essential for maintaining ecological balance and supporting indigenous communities.

This being the equatorial climate. I need more!!! Help?
