I really care about rainforests becasuse they provide more than 20 percent of the air we breath and they are known as the lungs of our planet. The two types of rainforests are tropical and temperate. You can tell the forests apart because tropical rainforests only grow along the equator. Temperate forests grow in cool wet climates and they shed there leaves in the winter. Forests help us in many ways, such as, they help lower the extreme climates liek wind and heat. These forests are beautiful but sadly they are being cut down for our use, rainforests are a rare type of forest, and are endagered because of pollution. These forests have few things in common but one is there layers. They both have four layers, from lowest to highest they are, the forest floor, the understory, the canopy and the emergent layer. ==
