Rainforest Fauna and Flora Photography

Tropical rainforests are found in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. More than half of the world’s species of plants and animals are found in the rainforests. We are slowly killing the rainforests, and all the life in them, by deforestation and due to the global warming…

We call them the “jewels of the Earth”, because they provide us with over one quarter of all natural medicines. Another name is “lungs of the Earth”, because they are also responsible for one fourth of the world’s oxygen turnover, processing it through photosynthesis.
