Rainforests, areas with a high density of trees and high annual rainfall, are considered of vital importance to the Earth's climate system and are home to a vibrant biodiversity. The largest tropical rainforests are in the Amazon Basin of South America, Nicaragua in Central America, equatorial Africa, southeastern Asia, and northeastern Australia. Temperate rainforests are found from southeastern Alaska, through British Columbia to Northern California on the Pacific coast, the western Caucasus Mountains and parts of the Balkans.

Rainforests
Poster Text: Rainforests are the richest environments on Earth and the most ancient ecosystem, they serve as the "gene pool" for the world. One-fifth of all birds and plants evolved in the Amazon basin. An estimated 50 percent of all plants and animal species live in tropical rainforests.
Two-third of all flowering plants are found in the world's tropical rainforests.
A quarter of all the medicines we use come from the rainforest plants.
Rainforest play major role in regulating our atmosphere. Vast amounts of carbon dioxide, a pollutant that contributes to the greenhouse effect, are absorbed during photosynthesis and stored as carbon in the tree's tissues.

Tropical Rainforest Biome
Poster Text: The tropical rainforest is found near the equator. Therefore, it receives the most sunlight and rainfall of any terrestrial biomes. The world's largest tropical rainforests are in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
This hot moist biome is home to 15 million species of plants and animals – more than in any other biome. The rainforest hosts thousands of species of trees, plants and flowers. Tropical rainforests receive about 12 hours of sunlight daily yet less than 2 percent of that sunlight reaches the ground. The soil is always shaded and little vegetation survives at ground level. The dense vegetation is often forms three different layers – the canopy (created by the tall trees), the understory, and the ground layer.
With constant warmth, near constant water supply and the wide variety of food, an incredibly diverse animal population inhabits the rainforest. Small mammals, primates, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, invertebrates and microorganisms are common. Many of these animals and insects use the tall trees and understory for shelter, as hiding places from predators, and as a source of food. The highly competitive and diverse environment has pushed animals to develop strong defenses and camouflage.
