Take a Walk in the Rainforest -- A Self-guided Tour
Tropical Rain forests are home to 50-90% of all the world's species of plants and animals. Rain forests provide us with oxygen, help maintain our climate and give us essential foods and medicines. Rain forests have intense tropical sunlight, high temperatures and virtually constant rainfall. This environment has enabled organisms to develop specialized adaptations to the environment and to each other. Over time, this specialization has promoted extraordinary biodiversity in the rain forest.
