Why do we need rainforests? [Video]

Tropical forests are disappearing faster than any other kind of forest. Why is that a problem? Tropical forests suck more carbon out of the air than any other kind of forest—making them a huge asset in the fight to slow climate change. They are home to two-thirds of the world’s biodiversity, even though they cover less than ten percent of the Earth’s land surface. And tropical forests send vapor into the air, making it rain—not just locally but thousands of miles away. Tropical forests provide shelter, food, medicine, and livelihoods to millions of Indigenous and local peoples. The Rainforest Alliance has worked to protect tropical forests for more than thirty-five years. https://www.rainforest-alliance.org #rainforestalliance #rainforest #tropicalforests #forests #biodiversity
