Products from the Rainforest

What products do we use in our daily lives that originate in rainforests?

Rainforests provide us with valuable resources such as timber, wood pulp for paper, firewood, medicines, fibers, latexes, resins and fruits. Foods such as chocolate, coffee and bananas all come from rainforests.

Products from the Rainforest

Bananas, cocoa, coffee, wood and many more products originate in the rainforests of Latin America. As demand for products from the rainforest increases, more pressure is exerted on these precious ecosystems. ['ɪkə.sɪstəm生态系统 ] With 90% of the world’s forests outside of protected areas, the Rainforest Alliance works to protect ecosystems and the people and wildlife that depend on them by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior. For instance, companies and communities in Brazil work with the Rainforest Alliance and their partners to harvest wood while ensuring the forest will remain healthy and productive for generations to come.
