Here's why it's so difficult to get a precise number:
* Vast unexplored areas: Rainforests are incredibly diverse and many areas remain unexplored.
* New discoveries: New species are constantly being discovered in rainforests.
* Difficulties in identification: Some species are very small or difficult to distinguish, making them hard to count.
While we don't have a specific number, the sheer biodiversity of rainforests is staggering.
