Over the last 100 years, more than half of the tropical rainforest disappeared. The forest that previously stretched out lika a wide belt around the equator is now primarily concentrated in three core areas. It is the largest rainforest in Central and South America. The second largest in Central Africa - the so-called Congo Basin - and the third area is within the Indo-Malay region of Southeast-Asia.
An invaluable pantry:
The list of everything that is extracted from the rainforest is long. Examples of edible raw materials originating from the rainforest are coffee, cocoa and many other fruits. Addition is recovered many different substances, mainly from plants, used for Medicine manufacturing. Today the forest is harvested by 1-2% per year. Forest loss not only leads to the loss of a tremendous asset, it also affects the global climate negatively, when the trees are felled transferred to the carbon that is bound in the vegetation of atmospheric carbon and in this way to the greenhouse effect!
