Rainforests are ecosystems with high rainfall and dense vegetation that support some of the greatest biodiversity on Earth.
- High rainfall — supports dense plant growth
- Warm climates — common in tropical regions
- Rich biodiversity — home to many species
- Layered forest structure — canopy, understory and forest floor
Major Rainforest Regions
- Amazon Rainforest — largest tropical rainforest in the world
- Congo Basin — major African rainforest region
- Southeast Asian rainforests — biodiverse tropical ecosystems
- Daintree Rainforest — famous Australian rainforest
- Central American rainforests — rich ecological habitats
Rainforest Wildlife and Biodiversity
- Tropical birds — including parrots and toucans

- Large predators — such as jaguars and leopards
- Insects and amphibians — extremely diverse populations
- Rare plant species — many found nowhere else
Rainforest Climate and Environment
- Humid conditions — common year-round
- Heavy rainfall — supports dense vegetation
- Carbon storage — important for climate regulation
- River systems — often originate in rainforest regions
- Environmental threats — include deforestation and habitat loss
Rainforest Conservation and Science
- Protected national parks — preserve biodiversity
