Rainforests are dense, warm, wet forests that are home to millions of plant and animal species. They generate much of the Earth's oxygen and contain many important resources for medicine. Rainforests are located near the equator in South America, Central America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Australia. They have high rainfall and temperatures that do not freeze or become too hot. Rainforests are important ecosystems but are increasingly endangered due to deforestation.
