right now comes from rainforests? Jeff Corwin learned this

Why are these animals important? Rainforests are home

to half of the animal groups in the world. All of these
animals are necessary for the health of the forest. Many
of them cant live anywhere else. Each one plays a role in
keeping the rainforest healthy and in balance.
