Tropical rainforests provide many benefits to humans and ecosystems. They are home to a vast diversity of plant and animal species, many of which have yet to be studied for their medical and agricultural applications. Tropical rainforests play an important role in regulating Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They also serve as an important resource for timber, fuel, and food for indigenous communities. However, human activities like agriculture, logging, and climate change threaten tropical rainforests and the benefits they provide.
