Why rainforests are so important

The Benefits

Some of the most important trees live in the rainforests. Even though the nearest rainforest could be a long way away from you, you still benefit from them everyday.

By absorbing carbon dioxide, rainforests help to reduce the effects of worldwide climate change. In addition to the important role rainforests play in Earth's climate, they are also a home to about 50% of the species of plants and wildlife on the planet.
