rainforests are found in places where the weather is a bit milder. In terms of location, rainforests can 
be found on every continent with the exception of Antarctica. Although they only cover 6 percent of 
the Earth, over 50 percent of the Earth’s animal and plant species can be found there. Many biologists 
estimate that there are possibly millions of additional species present there that have yet to be 
discovered and classified. 
 Over the years, rainforests have gained the nickname “the world’s pharmacy” because more 
than 25 percent of natural medicines were found there. Many herbs that are used to make medicines 
can only be found in rainforests. Rainforests are also home to several tribes that have lived off the land 
for thousands of years. During this time, they have survived by hunting animals and gathering fruits 
and vegetables. They also possess tremendous knowledge when it comes to crafting and applying 
medicines made from herbs and plants. Over time, their unique way of life has declined as they have 
come in contact with modem civilization. 
 Despite their numerous benefits, rainforests have been disappearing at a rapid speed. As the 
Earth’s population continues to expand, developers have been cutting down their trees to create new 
lands for farming or urban projects. This could have unfortunate long-term effects on our planet. If 
deforestation continues at this rate, it is possible that a quarter of all species on the Earth may become 
extinct in the next 50 years. As it stands, plenty of damage has already occurred. West Africa has had 
90 percent of its rainforests destroyed, while the island nation of Madagascar has eliminated 66 
percent of its original rainforests as well. As a result, many charities have sprung up with the goal of 
purchasing and protecting the remaining rainforests. With their help, hopefully we can stop the 
destruction of one of the planet’s most vital assets.
