Rainforests are incredibly diverse and complex ecosystems that have been around for millions of years. They are home to more than half of the world's plant and animal species, despite covering only about 6% of the Earth's land surface. Rainforests play a crucial role in regulating the planet's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen through photosynthesis. They also help maintain global water cycles and prevent soil erosion. Unfortunately, due to deforestation and other human activities, rainforests are disappearing at an alarming rate, leading to the loss of biodiversity and potential negative impacts on the climate.
