Tropical #rainforests cover about 12% of Earth’s land surface and are home to an estimated 50% of terrestrial biodiversity 🐆 Rainforests provide important ecological services, including storing hundreds of billions of tons of carbon, buffering against flood and drought, stabilizing soils, influencing rainfall patterns, and providing a home to wildlife and Indigenous people. In today's #FridayFieldTrip, junglejordan23 will take you to the Woodland Park Zoo Tropical Rainforest Exhibit in Seattle, Washington to learn more about this irreplaceable environment!
