Rainforests are forests which are characterized by high rainfall. There are 2 types of rainforests - Tropical rainforests and Temperate rainforests. The monsoon trough plays a major role in creating Earth's tropical rain forests. Tropical rainforests are also known as the "jewels of the Earth". The largest number of natural remedies come from tropical rainforests making them also the most well stocked pharmacy in the world. We must do all we can protect this very precious resource which is rapidly declining.
