Although rainforests only cover about 6% of the Earth’s land
surface, they contain over 60% of all known species of animal
and plant. With only 1.7 of the 15-20 million different animal species
having been found and named so far, there’s plenty still to discover
there; new species, especially invertebrates such as beetles, are
being discovered every day.
333.95 - Endangered Species
574.5 - Ecology
577.34 Rain forest
591- Rare Animals
639.9 - Wildlife Conservation

That is an impossible question because new species are constantly being discovered in the rain forest. There are thousands of endangered species of animals and plants around the world. New species are always being discovered and old species are becoming extinct. Humans can not prevent species from becoming extinct. The best that we can do is to be conscientious enough that we are not hastening the demise of any species.
