This week we are looking at the magic of rainforests to celebrate World Rainforest Day. One of the most important ecosystem services rainforests provide are storing huge amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. Rainforests are also home to millions of people across the globe and play hosts to over 50% of the world’s biodiversity. They also provide sources of food, medicine and hygiene products for people across the globe. Rainforests are our lungs and as we destroy them, we destroy our ability to breathe. Learn more about the magical world of rainforests, threats to rainforests and how you can help support rainforests.
“The trees are our lungs, the rivers our circulation, the air our breath and the earth our body.” ~ DEEPAK CHOPRA ~
