Rainforests are the oldest expressions of life on our planet. According to scientists, they now cover only 2% of the globe; 50% of the original rainforests are lost forever. However, rainforests still contain more than 50% of all living species: a wide variety of animals and plants. They are all part of a complex system - each depending on the others to survive. The destruction of one species can result in the extinction of the other.

Animals of the rainforest occupy specific micro-environments: [1] some never go down to the ground; [2] some live in a middle layer; [3] others never leave the ground.

Endangered species Animals and plants in danger of becoming extinct. Extinct When animals and plants die out and are gone from the Earth forever (like dinosaurs).
