The Amazon Rainforest, the largest tropical rainforest in the world, spans nine countries in South America, with most of it located in Brazil. Covering around 5.5 million square kilometers, it is home to unparalleled biodiversity and plays a vital role in regulating the Earth’s climate.

Rich Biodiversity

The Amazon is home to over 3 million species of plants and animals, including jaguars, sloths, macaws, and pink river dolphins. It also houses around 400 billion trees, producing 20% of the world’s oxygen, earning it the nickname "The Lungs of the Earth."

Indigenous Communities

Around 400 indigenous tribes live in the Amazon, some of whom have little to no contact with the outside world. These communities rely on the rainforest for food, medicine, and shelter, preserving traditional knowledge and sustainable practices.

Deforestation and Conservation Efforts

Deforestation due to logging, agriculture, and mining threatens the Amazon’s delicate ecosystem. This destruction contributes to climate change and biodiversity loss. Conservation programs and reforestation efforts are crucial in protecting the rainforest and maintaining its role in the global climate system. Preserving the Amazon is essential for the health of our planet and future generations.
