THIRD POST OF OUR #RAINFORESTWEEK! This time, we’re dedicating this week to share with you the importance of one of the other ecosystems that form part of our project.
The true importance of tropical forests:
- Rainforests help regulate our climate and provide us with everyday products.
- Rainforests absorb massive amounts of solar radiation, helping regulate temperatures around the globe.
- Rainforests also provide us with many medicinal products. According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, 70% of plants useful in the treatment of cancer are found only in rainforests.
- Rainforest plants are also used in the creation of muscle relaxants, steroids, and insecticides. They are used to treat asthma, arthritis, malaria, heart disease, and pneumonia. (National Geographic)
