Tropical wet forests have the highest economic impact on Earth's ecosystem as they contain more than half of the Earth's species and provide vital ecosystem services such as oxygen production, carbon storage, and climate regulation. They are also home to many indigenous communities who rely on them for their livelihoods through agriculture, hunting, and gathering. Additionally, tropical wet forests have valuable resources such as timber, minerals, and pharmaceuticals, making them a target for exploitation and leading to deforestation, soil degradation, and loss of biodiversity.
