why is the rainforest important to people?

rainforests contain a large portion of flora and fauna species. Some have yet to be discovered. Think of rainforests as the most biodiverse areas of the world. Now consider that 95% of our medicines are derived from plants, and you can see that rainforests are essential to a biodiverse planet such as  earth. Also, there are some people still living in rainforests, so it would be natural for them to place importance on their food, shelter and way of life.

Difference between rainforest and which one? \nProbably the habitat, no. of trophic levels

The question is not clear. Are you refering to ecological sub-systems with the rainforest?\nRainforests are the most complex of ecosystems, both in terms of structural complexity (several vertical layers, etc.) and in terms of interelationships and functions. \nSome of the sub-systems of the rainforest (although there is no clear separation between them) are the canopy, the underbrush, and the leaf litter levels. All of those are disturbed (destroyed, more likely) by deforestation. All the arboreal habitats just disappear, to be replaced (more or less slowly) by secondary-growth forest, which is much thicker and comprises different species (mostly opportunist species that grow rapidly once a clearing opens); and the leaf litter system (comprising most of the detritivore food web) is also destroyed because the ground level is exposed to direct sunlight and evaporation, as well as the erosive effects of rain.

Uh...people already live in the rain forest.  Have forever and a day.  You have to be a hunter gatherer type.  You would spend a decent amount of time just acquiring food, water and shelter.  Unless you start cutting them down and putting in farmland.

They are homes to millions of species of plants and animals.  They help keep the equilibrium of our planet constant.

Include the type of animals in the amazon, the plants, and the people. I would love to go to the amazon one day, so i know that it is an amazing place!!!

Good luck. Brazil and other nations around the rain forests are economically desperate. How can you tell a man who is just trying to feed his family to do it elsewhere or argue logic about econmic damage? \n\nInstead, why not cultivate the rain forest elsewhere? \n\nInstead of prohibiting logging in the rain forrest and other sensitive areas plant a tree in YOUR area. Plant lots of them and not just any tree. Do a little research as to which ones do not spew pollution. Yes certain kinds of trees are worse for our air than cars. \n\nRestrictive anything is not the solution for any problem. So called environmentalists have to get out of the banning mind set if they wish to do the environment any good. Positive solutions work. Negitive solutions only hurt people and rarely help your cause.

In addition to rainforests--coral reefs. Over-fishing, pollution, and warming are negatively impacting the reefs in many parts of the world.

The only aswer to this is- grow more and more trees. Trees produce oxygen, it helps to increase rainfall, it helps to maintain temperture. so grow more and more trees and save earth.

Check out this Wikipedia article:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle .  Your answer is there.  \n\nAs a side note:  When people think of the Jungle, they think how hard it is for poor people to survive in an Industrial economy that uses them.  During the Great Depression, the government began providing social programs to help the poor and needy to find jobs and support their families.

Tropical rainforests are found in a belt around the equator of the Earth. There are tropical rainforests across South America, Central America, Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia (and nearby islands). \n\nTemperate rainforests are found along the Pacific coast of the USA and Canada (from northern California to Alaska), in New Zealand, Tasmania, Chile, Ireland, Scotland and Norway. They are less abundant than tropical rainforests.

Endangered because of poaching for traditional medicines and destruction of habitat. Habitat tropical rainforests,found in Indonesia,though very rare.They are herbivores.Importance for natural balance. Solution: to stop illegal poaching, and provide space for them to live in.

in every 2 min. an estimated 57 soccerfields are cut down in the rainforest. The rainforest is a sanctuary for odd and endangered animals and ppl too.

If you're talking about the online company, then it is because they figured out that they could offer basically any book/media available and then ship it anywhere in the world, for competative prices.\n\nIf you're talking about the Amazon river it's beacuse of all the organic life about it and flooding that makes the river a very fertile river. (Essentially the rainforest makes it that way)\n\nIf you're talking about the indiginous people of Amazon it is because of the bountiful plants and animals along with the vast supply of water that allow them the basic nessecities of life: food, water, shelter.\n\nIf you're talking about the Amazon female warriors, it was because of thier training and just their warlike nature, not to mention help from their gods.\n\n\nIN the future, please make sure to proof-raed your question
