Rainforests cover about 6% percent of the Earth's surface and contain more than 50% percent of the plant and animal species in the world. Rainforests are known as the lungs of the planet Earth since there is an abundant supply of oxygen generated by the trees in the rainforest. Due to this reason, many animals thrive and made the rainforest their natural habitat. It is also responsible for the absorption of carbon dioxide, which is the one that causes the increase in the Earth's internal temperature.
