Rainforest in Chiapas, Mexico
World Rainforest Day is today! Started in 2017 by the Rainforest Partnership, the day stresses the importance of rainforests, the plants, the animals, and the cultures that live within. Two types of rainforest exist: the temperate rainforest and the tropical rainforest. The tropical rainforest has four layers: the emergent layer, the canopy, the understory, and the forest floor.
