You can find these rainforests in south America, Africa, and southeast Asia. It has a wide variety of plants and animals. The highest trees can be 240 ft high and the smallest can be 60 ft high.

The plants produce 40% of the worlds oxygen. 1/4 of the worlds medicine come from the plants that live here. It is believed that many plants hold cures for big diseases such as cancer.
