The Amazon Rainforest, often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," is one of
the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Covering approximately 5.5 million
square kilometers, it is home to an estimated 390 billion individual trees,
divided into 16,000 species. The rainforest spans across nine countries, with the
majority of it located in Brazil. This vast ecosystem is crucial not only for the
countless species that inhabit it but also for regulating the global climate by
absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, deforestation and
climate change are significant threats to the Amazon. Every year, large areas
are cleared for agriculture, logging, and other human activities. The loss of the
Amazon Rainforest could have severe consequences, not just for the region, but
for the entire planet.
