Rainforests are forests with an abundance of trees and other plant life. They contain many different animal species. Rainforests flourish in areas that have high rainfall. High rainfall is necessary to help promote plant growth and create a lush environment. There are four different layers that make up a rainforest. These are – the emergent layer, the canopy, the understorey and forest floor. There are three different types of rainforest and they are Tropical, Sub-tropical and Temperate rainforests.
