Malaysia's
tropical
rainforest
is
unique,
with
a
large
biodiversity
of
valuable
plants
and
animals.
The
discovery
of
herbal
plants
in
these
jungles.
Rainforests
are
forests
characterized
by
high
rainfall,
with
definitions
setting
minimum
normal
annual
rainfall
between
1750–2000 mm
(68-78 inches).
The
monsoon
trough,
alternately
known
as
the
inter-tropical
convergence
zone,
plays
a
significant
role
in
creating
Earth's
tropical
rain
forests.
40
to
75%
of
all
species
on
the
world's
habitats
are
indigenous
to
the
rainforests.
It
has
been
estimated
that
many
millions
of
species
of
plants,
insects,
and
microorganisms
are
still
undiscovered.
Tropical
rainforests
have
been
called
the
"jewels
of
the
Earth",
and
the
"world's
largest
pharmacy",
because
over
one
quarter
of
natural
medicines
have
been
discovered
there.
Rainforests
are
also
responsible
for
28%
of
the
world's
oxygen
turn
over,
often
misunderstood
as
oxygen
production,
processing
it
through
photosynthesis
from
carbon
dioxide
and
storing
it
as
carbon
through
biosequestration.
The
undergrowth
in
a
rainforest
is
restricted
in
many
areas
by
the
lack
of
sunlight
at
ground
level.
This
makes
it
possible
to
walk
through
the
forest.
If
the
leaf
canopy
is
destroyed
or
thinned,
the
ground
beneath
is
soon
colonized
by
a
dense,
tangled
growth
of
vines,
shrubs,
and
small
trees
called
a
jungle.
There
are
two
types
of
rainforest,
tropical
rainforest
and
temperate
rainforest.
Remarks
Trekking

basic

therefore it can be
slightly modified
