Rainforests of Panama

Tropical rainforests are warm, 24-27°C (75-80°F) year round, because they are located near the equator. Rainforests live up to their name, they receive at least 2,000 mm (80 inches) of rain every year.

While they cover less than seven percent of the Earth’s surface, rainforests contain about half of the plant and animal species on the planet.
