Earth's rainforest is not just a green forest, it is a vast ecosystem, which is essential for our life support. It produces oxygen, keeps the environment pollution-free through the carbon sequestration process and conserves diverse biodiversity.

These forests are habitats for various endemic species, where flora and fauna have survived for thousands of years. But deforestation and forest degradation are destroying our valuable resources. Due to increasing forest fragmentation, many keystone species are on the verge of extinction.

Rainforest not only plays a role for animals, but also in climate control. It maintains the hydrological cycle and determines the amount of rainfall through the transpiration process. Through microclimate formation, it controls temperature and ensures sustainability.

Now it's time to focus on reforestation and forest conservation. Only by increasing nature's resilience can we protect the environment.
