Over half of the world\u2019s trees and plant are found in the rainforests, making them incredibly important ecosystems! Can you think of any reasons not mentioned in the video that make these places so important to both humans and other animals? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use our activity sheet to help you work out roughly how much carbon each of the trees around where you live is storing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
