Today there are 120 distinct plant substances from the rainforest that are used in countries around the world creating effective treatments and drugs.

NARRATION
The rainforest contains the world's most diverse wildlife population. However, many species in the rainforest are at risk for extinction or dying out. The destruction of their habitat, as well as their food chain, are both factors in this phenomenon. It is thought that there are species in the rainforest still undiscovered that might go extinct having never existed.
