Rain forests average over 60 inches of rainfall per year, with some forests having as much as 400 inches of annual rainfall. Many of the rain forest trees have been used for hundreds of years for their medicinal value. Even today, rain forest trees produce such medicines as quinine (fights malaria) taxol (cancer treatment), and emetine (bronchitis).

Unfortunately, rain forests are being destroyed at a very rapid pace - nearly 20 million acres of rain forests are destroyed every year due to mining, slash and burn farming, fires and logging. Most of the destruction has occurred in the last century and it has now become a necessity to replant trees as quickly as possible. With continued tree replantings by our organization and others, the restored rain forest can continue to play a vital role in the world's eco-system.
