How many different species organisms would you say on average a 1km^2 tropical rainforest hosts approximately?
There are more species of insects in one big tree in the Amazon rainforest than in the whole of England. So one kilometre squared might contain a million, I don’t think anyone knows exactly as the biodiversity would vary from place to place. With the greatest biodiversity on the planet, the Amazon rainforest has the most plant and animal species going extinct. They need the rainforest to survive, as do we. There must be thousands of useful herb species in the rainforest that are endangered.
