A primary rainforest is an original forest, that has not been cut down and reforested. The trees compromising these forests have been around for a very long time. Rain is a natural element in these moist, tropical forests.

There are not many Primary Rainforests left in the world, due to deforestation in favour of agriculture and to sell precious hardwood.
