    Tropical rainforests are home to over 15 million species and have been around for millions of years. They contain many plants that could potentially treat cancer and play an important role in regulating the climate by absorbing carbon dioxide. Deforestation has reduced tropical rainforest coverage by over half. Some indigenous groups still live independently within the rainforest.

    The tropical rainforest is extremely humid
    and hot. When you visit make sure you
    wear clothes that are light but cover you
    because there are a lot of insects.
    While visiting you can hike, go kayaking,
    ride on lifts to see the entire rainforest
    from above!
    You can eat the most beautiful and
    delicious fruits on earth and drink water
    straight from the tree.

    Fauna
    The Toco Toucan - It has extremely strong
    feet to hold itself up on small branches. Two of
    its toes point backward and two forward. It also
    has a very wide tail that helps it balance on
    tree branches.
    Golden Lion Tamarin These animals have
    extremely strong legs to help them climb. They
    are very communal the father and mother help
    raise it and older siblings even help when they
    come of age.

    Flora
    Bengal Bamboo This can grow from 40-80
    feet tall and 3 inches wide. They flower once
    in their life and die right afterwards.IT grows
    extremely fast which helps it survive in the tall
    canopies of the rainforest.
    Strangler Figs Figs bear fruit several times of
    the year so they are very important to the
    animals in the rainforest. The fig is very
    competitive it starts growing very rapidly as a
    young seedling and stretches it tendrils out
    onto the host tree and grows downwards and
    pushes very hard through the soil to ensure
    that it gets a place for its roots to grow.
