Tropical forests are home to several indigenous and unique species of plants, fruits, animals and other living creatures. For a long time, these rainforests remained neglected and their economic and ecological benefits unknown. Though today the scenario is quite different, the sustainability of harvesting the produce of these rainforests needs to be examined to exploit their commercial benefits. The two species of plants that have gained attention from the international markets are Copaifera and Andiroba. The oil extracted from them is used in several beauty products.
