The largest rainforests are in the Amazon River Basin (South America), the Congo River Basin (western Africa), and throughout much of southeast Asia. Smaller rainforests are located in Central America, Madagascar, Australia and nearby islands, India, and other locations in the tropics.

Explanation:
Tropical rainforests are found near the equator due to the amount of rainfall and the amount of sunshine these areas receive. The high temperatures means that evaporation happens at a fast rate, resulting in frequent rainfall. Temperate rainforests are also rainforests but they are not found near the equator.
