Why is it important to have rainforests?

Why is the rainforest important?1. Many rainforest trees are used to make medicines and food. 25% of all our medicine is made from rainforest materials. Without these, people would have to find other ways to produce the same product and it may make more people ill. Bananas and some nuts grow in the rainforest and they will be lost. Other materials like rubber and fibres are only found in the rainforest.2. Many tribes and Amerindians live in the rainforest and without it they would lose their home and most of their culture.3. Lots of animals and plants live in the rainforest and if they lose their home they may become extinct and die out. About half of the world animals live there and about two thirds of the earth's plants live there.4. The trees in the rainforest absorb water and prevent many floods and erosion. They can also prevent drought.5. The trees absorb carbon dioxide and without them, the temperature of the earth will go up and all the ice will melt. 18-25% of the earth's carbon dioxide is absorbed here.
