The document discusses key facts about tropical rainforests, including that they cover 6% of the Earth, are home to 30 million plant and animal species, and produce a significant amount of the world's oxygen. It notes that the balance of the rainforest ecosystem is disrupted when it is destroyed and that resources found there may be needed in the future. Specific ways to help save the rainforest mentioned include using mulch in gardens, carpooling, and printing on both sides of paper. Additional details provided state that an area the size of two football fields is lost every second and that there are over 1000 species per square kilometer in rainforests versus only around 100 in the same area in the United States.
