How is the rain forest a positive impact to humankind?

Answer 1

Rainforests do NOT produce oxygen. That is an urban myth.

Many good reasons exist for placing deforestation near the top of our list of environmental sins, but fortunately the fate of the Earth's O2 supply does not hang in the balance. Simply put, our atmosphere is endowed with such an enormous reserve of this gas that even if we were to burn all our fossil fuel reserves, all our trees, and all the organic matter stored in soils, we would use up only a few percent of the available O2. No matter how foolishly we treat our environmental heritage, we simply don't have the capacity to put more than a small dent in our O2 supply. Furthermore, the Earth's forests do not play a dominant role in maintaining O2 reserves, because they consume just as much of this gas as they produce. In the tropics, ants, termites, bacteria, and fungi eat nearly the entire photosynthetic O2 product. Only a tiny fraction of the organic matter they produce accumulates in swamps and soils or is carried down the rivers for burial on the sea floor.

Answer 2

As Isis-sama said, the trees within the rainforest convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, which we breathe. If there were no rainforests we wouldn't be able to survive.

They also contain animals and plants that couuld potentially help cure many diseases or make way for new treatments. Scientists have already discovered a few of these.

Answer 3

Well the positive impact is that it does provide home for many species of plants and animals. And we get medicinal drugs from the rain forest as well as important crops such as bananas,coffee, chocolate, mangoes,etc.

Answer 4

All the trees in it turn most of the world's waste carbon dioxide into oxygen, which is vital for our survival. And that's just a start.
