AMAZON RAIN FOREST (LUNGS OF EARTH)
The Amazon rainforest has many types of species that human society has not discovered yet. The Amazon rainforest is the world's largest tropical forest. The rainforest is home of 10% of all known species on Earth, including millions of plants and insects. This forest is so large that it covers 6.7 million square kilometers (2.6 million square miles ) and also covers Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, and Brazil. Brazil contains 60% of the entire Amazon rainforest. While the rainforest is famous for its biodiversity, it hides its most secret treasures inside. There are 16,000 different tree species and roughly 400 billion individual trees. ~by Mohit Kumar Singh BJMC, 1st Semester
