Rainforests provide many benefits to human lives. They are a source of food crops, having produced fruits, vegetables, nuts, drinks and other foods. Many medicines used today were discovered from plants in rainforests as they contain chemicals that can treat or cure diseases. Rainforests also yield beautiful hardwoods that are used to construct homes, offices, and furniture. In addition, tropical forests play a vital role in regulating the climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and maintaining rainfall and soil patterns.

Rainforest Destruction
Human beings benefit more from leaving rainforests standing rather than cutting them down, as over 90% of prescription medicines contain ingredients from rainforest plants, less than 1% of rainforest plants have been tested for medical properties meaning over 99% have not been tested, and rainforest exports are very profitable so the rainforest is worth more standing than for logging, cattle ranching, or farming.
Uses of tropical rainforests
Tropical rainforests serve several important purposes: as water catchment areas that slowly filter rainwater into the groundwater supply; as "green lungs" that absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen; and as habitat to over 2 million species of flora and fauna as well as indigenous peoples who rely on the forest for food and resources. Rainforests also provide timber for construction and contain thousands of plant species with potential medical applications.
The rain forest
The rainforest is located near the Earth's equator in South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. It has a hot temperature of around 80 degrees and receives a lot of rain, almost 6 inches per month. The rainforest has several layers - the emergent layer with the tallest trees, the canopy layer full of leaves and branches, the understory layer with little sunlight, and the dark forest floor. The rainforest is home to many animal species like sloths, jaguars, orangutans, toucans, and ants eaters that live in the different layers.
Tropical Rainforest
Tropical rainforests exist near the equator between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, including countries like Brazil, Indonesia, and the Congo. They have high rainfall, temperature, and humidity. The forest is divided into strata including the forest floor, understory, canopy, and emergent layer, each with different environmental conditions and species of plants and animals. Some example animal species mentioned are the kinkajou, poison dart frog, and sloth.
Save tree
Trees provide many benefits to humans and the environment. They give us food, clothing, shelter, and medicine. Trees help control pollution by cleaning the air, combating the greenhouse effect, and providing oxygen. Planting trees can save millions of lives and help the environment by preventing soil erosion and purifying water. Trees should be preserved and planted more widely to continue their important contributions.

The document discusses several key topics related to the environment and human rights:
1) The environment is essential to human life and well-being, and environmental rights are increasingly recognized as inherent human rights.
2) Humans are severely damaging the environment through pollution, habitat destruction, and overconsumption of resources, threatening biodiversity and exacerbating issues like climate change.
3) Environmental laws aim to curb pollution and protect nature, but environmental harms disproportionately impact the poor, developing nations, and marginalized groups. Sustainable development is needed to meet present and future generations' needs.
Rainforests
Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land but now only cover 6%, and experts estimate the last remaining rainforests could be destroyed within 40 years. Half of plant and animal species will be destroyed in the next 25 years due to deforestation. As rainforest species disappear, so do potential cures for diseases, though only 1% of rainforest plants have been tested for medical potential. Most rainforests are cleared for timber and farming, threatening indigenous populations' knowledge of medicinal plants. Saving rainforests will require global efforts to educate others, restore damaged areas, encourage sustainable living, establish protected areas, and support environmentally-friendly companies.

This document discusses the importance of stewardship and sustainability in protecting the Amazon rainforest. It notes that the Amazon produces over 20% of the world's oxygen and contains incredible biodiversity that provides resources like pharmaceutical drugs. However, the forest is being destroyed by logging, land clearing, and mismanagement, putting many species at risk. The author argues that all countries must work together globally to preserve the Amazon, as it sustains life and well-being on Earth. Having visited Peru and the Amazon, the author believes the forest must be protected to maintain invaluable plants and traditions, as well as our environmental and economic future.
Why are forests important
Forests provide many important benefits. They are a source of wood and other products like paper, fiberboard and medicines. Forests also play an important role in protecting the environment by preventing soil erosion, regulating snow melt and wind patterns. They lower temperatures by providing shade. Forests serve as habitats for wildlife and indigenous people, with about 50% of all species calling forests their home. Finally, forests have a significant impact on climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
Importance of biodiversity to humanKinds
Biodiversity is essential for human well-being and survival. It provides vital goods and services like food, medicine, clean air and water. Each species, no matter how small, plays an important role in ecosystem productivity and sustainability. At least 40% of the global economy and 80% of needs of poor people are derived from biological resources. Biodiversity also has immense aesthetic, cultural and spiritual value for humans. While we have benefited from biodiversity in many known ways, most of its benefits are still unknown as important species and ecosystem functions have yet to be discovered. Loss of biodiversity therefore poses a major threat to humanity's future welfare and progress.
