Know more about the Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon is a vast and majestic rainforest teeming with an estimated quarter of all known land species. The jaguar, the pink river dolphin, the sloth, the world's largest flower, a monkey the size of a toothbrush and a spider the size of a baseball are just a few of the species that we know about - there are many more yet to be discovered.It is also home to over 20 million people including hundreds of indigenous peoples, some of which have never been contacted by the ‘outside world’. And finally, the Amazon stores 80 to 120 billion tonnes of carbon, helping to stabilise the planet's climate.

Why help?

The Amazon is a vast region that spans across eight rapidly developing countries: Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, an overseas territory of France.
The landscape contains:

·         One in ten known species on Earth

·         1.4 billion acres of dense forests, half of the planet's remaining tropical forests

·         4,100 miles of winding rivers

·         2.6 million square miles in the Amazon basin, about 40 percent of South America

There is a clear link between the health of the Amazon and the health of the planet. The rain forests, which contain 90-140 billion metric tons of carbon, help stabilize local and global climate. Deforestation may release significant amounts of this carbon, which could have catastrophic consequences around the world.
