Rainforests differ to other forest around the world in that they are located in warm, tropical areas and grow in climates with regular rainfall. They are evergreen forests, most of which are thousands of years old. Due to their warm, wet and dense ecosystems, these forests are teeming with life. They carry thousands of different plant and animal species, most of which haven’t even been discovered yet. The soil beneath these canopies is rich and constantly renewed with fresh layers of fallen plants and animals, enriching the soil with an abundance of vitamins and nutrients.
