Temperate Rainforests
Temperate Rainforest is different to a tropical one.It covers 75 million acres on earth and the average temperautre is 4-12 degrees celcius. The soil in the ground is very rich, so lots of plants grow there including shrubs, moss, lichens, tall trees and ferns. The animals that live there are grizzly bears, otters, bald eagles, and spotted owls and lots more animals, in fact more than 50% of animals and plants live in, not just temperate rainforests, all rainforests! But, humans have been doing so much deforestation, that only half of the world's temperate rainforests remain! Stop wasting and Get saving everybody!

Tropical Rainforest
Tropical Rainforests are home to about half of the world's animal population, squeezed in a small environment. It rains 125-160 cm of rain annually and it's normally 20-34°c in there. Rainforests were also home to human beings, thousands of years ago. Animals like toucans live in this rainforest and many more animals. This rainforest is also suffering from lots of deforestation so now, only 6% of rainforests cover the earth's surface but the animals still remain. Tropical Rainforests provide 40% of the world's oxygen and have lots of trees, 100-300 tree species have been found in tropical rainforests.
