Ecological Importance of Rainforests:
- Climate Regulation: Rainforests act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing large amounts of carbon dioxide, thus mitigating climate change.
- Biodiversity Hotspots: Hosting a significant percentage of Earth’s species, rainforests contribute to global genetic diversity.
- Water Cycle: Rainforests play a crucial role in regional and global water cycles by influencing rainfall patterns and preventing soil erosion.
- Medicinal Resources: Many plant species in rainforests have medicinal properties, contributing to pharmaceutical discoveries.
