Why it Matters

• Rainforests are some of the world’s most ancient and complex ecosystems. They cover a mere 2% of the Earth, yet more than half of all plant and animal species live there. The rainforest is home to creatures as famous as the jaguar and poison dart frog, as well as lesser-known and even unidentified species.

• The rainforest is where many modern food staples originated, including tomatoes, corn, and chocolate, but we use a mere fraction of the edible plants available there.

• Although one quarter of modern medicines come from plant species, Western science has analyzed less than one percent of rainforest plants for medicinal compounds, and the indigenous tribes that use these plants are rapidly disappearing.

• Many species are becoming extinct at a high rate as the forests are burned for short-term farming, grazed, and harvested for wood and other compounds at an unsustainable rate. Because of this, we lose an extraordinary number of unique plants and creatures found nowhere else in the world. *
