Detailed explanation-1: -The Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest tropical rainforest. It is home to around 40, 000 plant species, nearly 1, 300 bird species, 3, 000 types of fish, 427 species of mammals, and 2.5 million different insects.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical rainforests can be managed in the following ways to reduce deforestation: Logging and replanting-selective logging of mature trees ensures that the rainforest canopy is preserved.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical rainforests typically receive between 1.5 m to 4 m of rainfall each year. That’s a lot of moisture! This warm, humid climate makes tropical rainforests a great habitat for plants and animals. Rainforests are one of the most biodiverse biomes on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -By absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing the oxygen that we depend on for our survival. The absorption of this CO2 also helps to stabilize the Earth’s climate. Rainforests also help to maintain the world’s water cycle by adding water to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration which creates clouds.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long. It is known for its dense canopies of vegetation that form three different layers. The top layer or canopy contains giant trees that grow to heights of 75 m (about 250 ft) or more.
