The Amazon is home to the largest rainforest on Earth and nearly a third of the planet’s plant and animal species. The Amazon is the green lung, the symbol of biodiversity, the emblem of a world that must be preserved at all costs. The Amazon Basin spans 9 countries, with most of its area lying in Brazil. It is crossed by a majestic river and its 1,100 tributaries, the Amazon, the largest river on the continent and the planet’s largest reservoir of fresh water. New species are constantly being catalogued, adding to an already extraordinary list: 40,000 plant species, 2.5 million insect species, and over 1,300 bird species inhabit this extraordinary rainforest, a unique environment, though one threatened by human greed.
