Tropical rainforests cover just 6% of the planet’s land surface but are some of the richest, most biodiverse places on Earth. They are home to ancient, towering trees and a huge variety of plants, birds, insects and mammals. A staggering 80% of the world's documented species can be found in tropical rainforests!
