Crop Map of The Tropical Rain forest

• about 2,000 trees per minute are cut down in rainforests
• leaves have adapted to allow rapid rain removal in several ways – smooth, waxy leaves (like Balsam Apple), drip tips (like Bo tree), holes (like Swiss Cheese plant), and divided, lobed or fringed leaves (like palms)
• many foods, especially fruits, originated in the rainforests; over 3000 kinds of fruits can be found in rainforests, but only about 200 are in use right now; examples of common rainforest foods are oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, coconut, avocadoes, starfruit, dates, figs, papaya, bananas, coffee, chocolate (cacao), chewing gum (chicle), ginger, cinnamon, pepper, vanilla, cashews, Brazil nuts, tapioca, sweet potatoes, guava, passion fruit, ginger root, mangoes, and lemons (ones in bold are located in the dome)
