Note: There is a flash going on that contains much information. I'll copy it out here. Rainforests provide many natural products: coffee, cocoa and many medicines, including those used in the treatment of cancer. More than 2,000 tropical forest plants have been identified by scientists as having anti-cancer properties. Originally, 6 million square miles of tropical rainforest existed worldwide. As a result of deforestation, only 2.6 million remain. Though covering less than 2% of the Earth's surface, the world's rainforests are home to 50% of the Earth?s plants and animals. Before 1500 A.D., there were about 6 million indigenous people in the Brazilian Amazon. By the 1900s, there were less than 250,000.
