Half of the world's species live in tropical rainforests

It is a remarkable fact that approximately half of the world's species inhabit tropical rainforests, which cover only about 6% of the Earth's land surface. Tropical rainforests are located near the equator, where it is almost always warm and wet, providing a wide variety of habitats and niches for different species to inhabit. It is a very busy ecosystem with many kinds of plants, animals, fungi, and microscopic organisms. Many of these species are found only in tropical rainforests and nowhere else.

Furthermore, tropical rainforests play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate. Through photosynthesis, the trees and plants in rainforests absorb a substantial amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, acting as a natural carbon sink.
