The statement about the rain forests is wrong, they are now known to be essentially oxygen neutral, with little or no net oxygen production at all. That's not saying, it isn't worth saving them.

The earth's atmosphere at sea level.
78% Nitrogen 21% Oxygen
The nitrogen and oxygen in Earth's atmosphere together account for a speck more than 99% of it..
Through oxygen cycle. Humans and animals take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. This ways the oxygen is circulated in the atmosphere.
21% of the atmosphere is oxygen.
Scientists estimate that more than 50 percent of the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is produced by phytoplankton in the ocean through photosynthesis. Phytoplankton are microscopic marine organisms that play a crucial role in the global oxygen cycle.
Oxygen forms 21 percent of the Earth's atmosphere.
The biggest contributor to Earth's oxygen supply is phytoplankton. These microscopic marine plants generate over half of the oxygen in our atmosphere through photosynthesis. Forests and other plants also play a significant role in oxygen production.
Oxygen is the gas that makes up about 21 percent of the Earth's atmosphere.
40 percent
Around 80 percent of oxygen on Earth is produced by phytoplankton in the oceans. These microscopic organisms undergo photosynthesis, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. Forests and other terrestrial plants also contribute significantly to oxygen production.
The mass percent of oxygen is approximately 21% in Earth's atmosphere.
Air is 20.5 percent oxygen.
Forests do produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, but they do not significantly increase the overall oxygen levels in the atmosphere. The main source of oxygen on Earth is the oceans, not forests. Forests are crucial for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and climate regulation.
