rainforest species

Rainforest species refer to the diverse plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms that inhabit rainforest ecosystems. These species contribute to the complex web of life, with many adapted to the warm, humid environment. Rainforests host roughly 50% of the world's terrestrial species, playing crucial roles in climate regulation, water cycles, and biodiversity. Examples include jaguars, colorful birds, insects, medicinal plants, and towering trees. Their interdependence sustains the health of these ecosystems. Protecting rainforest species is vital for maintaining global environmental balance and ensuring the continued richness of life on Earth.
