Tropical rainforests are the areas with the most species of all types of plants and animals on earth, many of which have not yet been discovered.

Tropical rainforests have an extremely thin layer of soil that is easily degraded and/or eroded if the forest around it is removed. The forest is being cut down every day for this purpose, even though agriculture only works for a few years before the soil is destroyed and the farmers have to move further into the forest (and cut it down, too).

Tropical rainforests are a critical source of water and oxygen in our atmosphere; they affect climate and weather around the globe.
