Half the Planet Lives Here

The Rainforest

Deep in the lush, steamy heart of the rainforest, there’s a massive neighborhood party happening—and just about everyone in the animal and plant kingdom got an invite! Around 50% of all plants and animals on Earth call the rainforest their home. Yep, half of all the world’s species have packed up their roots, claws, wings, and leaves to settle down in the most happening spot on the planet.


Think about it: towering trees, vibrant flowers, cheeky monkeys, slinky jaguars, and colorful birds all living side by side in a leafy paradise. This epic jungle is like nature’s skyscraper, stacked with life from the forest floor to the tippy-top of the canopy. It's a busy, buzzing high-rise of green, where every inch is filled with fascinating creatures and amazing plants.


So, next time you imagine the rainforest, think of it as the ultimate nature condo—teeming with half the world’s wild residents, all making themselves at home in the jungle’s vibrant, lively chaos!
