The top 10 rainforests and jungles in the world      A trip into a rainforest or jungle is to enter the richest habitat on earth. This is an eco-system that supports animal and plant kingdoms in a fragile interdependency—an environment where man is tolerated rather than accepted. The world's forests are endangered, and must be visited with care, but to experience one is to open our eyes to the challenges that we face. Forests support over five million plant and animal species, and even now, protect numerous undiscovered species. The best way to visit these precious environments is on an organised tour. Some forests are relatively safe from harm and quite welcoming, but some are fragile, on a knife-edge, and need soft footfall visits in order to protect them. There are also numerous local tourism, conservation and volunteering projects that educate visitors and support local communities, taking you deep into the lush green hearts of these magical places. 1.          DAINTREE
