The Importance Of A Rainforest
What is a Rainforest?
A rain forest is a tall, dense jungle. The reason it is called a “rain” forest is because of the heavy amounts of rain. The rain forest has its own climate, which its plants and animals adapt to.

Tropical rain forests are locates near the equator, mangrove are located along tropical coastlines or salty rivers near the ocean and temperate are located
Structure

And heart diseases.
They also are homes to communities and tribes and are vey good for the environment as the help climate control by converting carbon dioxide into oxogen. Using them for timber at a sustainable rate is great but in some rain forests they aren't using them at a sustainable rate all the trees could be chopped to fast leaving with no rainforest left.
