1. _____________________
Tropical rainforests are full of life! Plants and trees grow quickly because there is a lot of rain and it is very hot. The tallest tropical tree in the world is recorded at 83 metres! The largest flower on Earth, the Rafflesia, grows up to one metre across! It is well-known that the rainforests have more species of plants and animals than the rest of the world put together, but did you know that there are also about 50 million people living in the world's rainforests?
2. _________________________
The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America, and there are also rainforests in Africa, South-east Asia and Australia. These places were home to many more people in the past. There are around 250 million people in the world who originated from the rainforests, but because these areas are getting smaller, many of these people have had to move to cities. The people who still live in the rainforests live in groups called tribes. These people depend on the forests for their food, medicine and shelter.
3. _______________________
One of these tribes is The Baka Pygmies from Camaroon in Africa. The Baka are nomadic, which means they travel from place to place. They live in villages, and build huts made from branches and leaves. The Baka eat different things like fruit, nuts, fish and honey. The men usually go hunting for the food and get honey from the trees. The women carry their babies with them as they catch fish or gather vegetables.
4. _______________________
Most children don't go to school. Instead they learn about the forests from their parents. They are taught how to survive. They learn how to hunt and fish, and which plants are useful as medicine or as food. Some of these children know more about their environment than scientists who have studied rainforests for years! 5. _______________________
Many of the things we use in our daily lives such as material, plant, soap, shampoo and medicine are provided by the rainforests. This is why big companies want to develop the area. They build roads, cut down trees and clear the ground for farming. This destruction has all sorts of terrible effects on the plants and animals. It also causes people to move away, and destroys the way of life of the people who remain.

1. The tallest tropical tree is more than 83 meters.
