Let's TAKE A FIELD TRIP!

Why It Matters

The Importance

Moisture generated by the rainforests travel around every part of the world

Interestingly, in the Amazon rainforest, 50-80% of the moisture remains in the ecosystem's water cycle

Without it: air and water pollution, soil erosion, malaria epidemics, and extinction of plants and animals.

Rainforests help maintain the water cycle, as well as protecting food, they prohibit droughts and help soil erosion

When the rainforest trees are cut down or burned, the carbon dioxide gas is released back in the atmosphere

Rainforests help stabilize the world's climate through the absorption of carbon dioxide
