Rainforest Benefits

Rainforest Benefits 

Rainforests are very important to the global ecosystem. Rainforests provide a home to many plants and animals including endangered species. When forests are cut, many species have to face extinction.

Rainforest Plants
 

Rainforests help stabilize the world's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Rainforests also affect local weather conditions by creating rainfall and moderating temperatures. Rainforests help maintain water circulation. If the rain forest is cleared, the water vapor into the atmosphere will be reduced, and also participated rainy derived reduced, this can cause dryness.


The roots of trees and rain forest vegetation helps to hold the soil. When the trees cut down, there will be no longer any barrier that protects the soil surface and the soil would be quickly washed away by rain water. This causes flooding and erosion.

Forests are a source of food and medicine. Forests are also sources of tribal life.
