Amazon RainforestWhile I am in this part of the world, I thought u would visit the Amazon Rainforest, in Brazil. Parts of this billion acre rainforest are also in Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador and Peru. If it were a country, it would be the ninth biggest largest in the world.
The Rainforest is beautiful and green and quite dark once you get in. There are not many plants on the forest floor because the canopy blocks the sunlight. The ground is covered with wet leaves, moss, fungi and lots of decay. It also smells damp.
It is also noisy too. The Amazon is home to about 1,600 species of birds and around, 1,000,000,000 species of insects. We have seen a jaguar a tapir and heard a lot of monkeys.Did you know that 20% of the world’s oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest?
There is a large population of tribal people that live throughout the rainforest. The Amazon provides everything from food and shelter to tools and medicines. For example each plant has a specific role depending on its physical and chemical properties.
The traditional way of life of some tribes is being threatened by modern day life such as logging.
